Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
UPDATED, WITH NEW MATERIAL BY THE AUTHOR'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 WalkerWithin every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species. In WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES, Dr. Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, and stories, many from her own family, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Dr. Estés has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.'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'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 stories are interesting and a nice read in this book, but some written or even televised fairytale shows can deliver a lot more than this book, without the preach.

I bought this book some years ago following a rave recommendation, and the title really grabbed my attention. Once I got home to start reading it, I got the grey smudges all over my fingers, and the really poor quality of print made it close to impossible to concentrate on the reading. I managed to get through some 50+ pages but just couldn't finish the book. I tried two or three times, to covercome this problem, but the paper colour was quite brownish, and I just gave up in the end. I realized I couldn't give this book to any of my friends, and had to let it go. The one memorable part of the book was something about Ugly Duckling, and "unmothered mothers" theme.
Also the written quality of the book is such that it is quite chatty and repetitive. I think I might've preferred a condensed version of this book. Just my two cents. Thanks.

This book found me as my mother lay dying in the subsequent room. I was just walking around her house and I came to the bookshelf and looked up and there it was, the title just jumped out at me. I picked it up and started reading it and it was one of the most eerie experiences of my whole life. My sister had bought this book for my mother, but she didn't like it. She couldn't have because my mother was The Collapsed Mother with Frozen Feeling, Frozen Creativity. I never saw her create a single thing growing up or even before her death. Anyway, this book is a great read and it does ring so true that it cannot be denied. I continually return to this book for reminders and encouragement to sing, snuffle, dance and howl!!
