About this product

Product Information

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Book club pick for Emma Watson's Our Shared Shelf * A deeply spiritual book [that] honors what is tough, smart and untamed in women. -The Washington Post Book World Within 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. For though the gifts of wildish nature belong to us at birth, society's attempt to civilize us into rigid roles has muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories, many from her own traditions, 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. Estes 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.

  • An excellent book concentrating on women's psyches.

    An excellent, thought-provoking non-fiction book. It is a collection of myths and stories that make one aware of the strong, powerful psyche that is buried in every women's inner being. Though-provoking book, a truly good read.

  • Good

    Size of the book is to be considered as pocket book in my opinion. Pages are of gray colour and very thin. Better not to be open too wide as the pages might split up and the book could fall a part. I would still recommend this book because not onlly the content itself, but because of the size. It will most likely fit into smaller bag and it will be a good choice when you travel.
