Reviews" Women Who Run with the Wolves isn't just another book. It is a gift of profound insight, wisdom, and love. An oracle from one who knows." --Alice Walker "I am grateful to Women Who Run with the Wolves and to Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés. The work shows the reader how glorious it is to be daring, to be caring, and to be women. Everyone who can read should read this book." --Maya Angelou "An inspiring book, the 'vitamins for the soul' [for] women who are cut off from their intuitive nature." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Stands out from the pack . . . a joy and sparkle in [the] prose . . . This book will become a bible for women interested in doing deep work. . . . It is a road map of all the pitfalls, those familiar and those horrifically unexpected, that a woman encounters on the way back to her instinctual self. Wolves . . . is a gift." -- Los Angeles Times "A mesmerizing voice . . . dramatic storytelling she learned at the knees of her [immigrant] aunts." -- Newsweek "The work of Clarissa Pinkola Estés, rooted in old and deep family rites and in archetypal psychology, recognizes that the soul is not lost, but has been put to sleep. This volume reminds us that we are nature for all our sophistication, that we are still wild, and the recovery of that vitality will itself set us right in the world." --Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul

She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species.

    Still reading this...but...

    ...this is a great addition to any library! Wonderful, rich stories woven by a true storyteller re: female archetypes. This is a book that creates true contemplation re: what the storyteller said, what symbolism is there, how does this apply in our culture and/or our lives directly. Every once in a while, the author suggests something that doesn't entirely resonate with me (so, I just let that part go), but overall quite pleased this was recommended to me!

  • Top critical review

    The book itself is too rambling

    The book created a good spirit and overall content to reader; however I feel no interesting of reading the cycling to nowhere. This book should be more suitable for particular type of reader.

  • Promot delivery, good condition

    The book was way bigger than I was expecting it to be for the cheap price it was. It has been a secondhand book and I'm at least the 3rd owner, which I love. Everyone keeps recommending this book to me and any empowered female should give it a read!
