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 like. An prediction from one who knows.”–Alice WalkerWithin every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with excellent instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual scenery of women. But she is an endangered species. In WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES, Dr. Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, and tales, many from her own family tree, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual scenery. Through the tales and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, like, and know the Wild Woman and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Dr. Estés has made 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 scenery for all our sophistication, that we are still wild, and the recovery of that energy will itself set us right in the world.”–Thomas Moore Leader 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 scenery.”–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, persons familiar and persons 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

Unbelievably bizarre that this book has a following at all. 4 1/2 stars?!?
Only the ignorant and naive will find value in this drivel.
Whatever answers you seek, look for them elsewhere.
The road leader Estes paves leads nowhere.

You too can write a book. Take half a dozen folk tales and surround each one with endless (and I do mean endless) psychobabble.
Save your time and money. Skip this book.

I read this book hoping for a small insight and perspective from an educated women and establish myself abysmally disappointed. This book failed to capture not only my interest but the interest of every person I lent it to. Pinhola makes exceedingly long reaches to arrive at primitive conclusions (no pun proposed), and fails to integrate the slightest hint of logic into her tales that supposedly incorporate a new feminist theory. If this is an “I am woman, hear me roar” chant, it is sure to back fire, serving only to show persons of us who already know we’re worth something that there are some women who keep our gender from advancing and being taken seriously! I fervently recommend that any reader who needs some encouragement and empowerment to find another book with factual, appealing psychology that may be legitimately and appropriately applied to her life.

The book is a glorification of the irrational, if that is a worthy aim for people in the present world. I suppose there are many individuals who, in mass society, feel so insignificant that any fantasy activity is appealing to them, but whether it really will help them along the path of self-improvement and to find meaning in life, I seriously doubt. The so-called Spanish of the leader hardly qualifies as Spanish for its many flaws and shortcomings, and I suppose that her assumed Hispanic aspect is as shallow in meaning as her vulpine activities. Men, but, may find reading this tome of value in determining which females to avoid (like the plague).

The tales are appealing and a nice read in this book, but some written or even televised fairytale shows can deliver a lot more than this book, lacking the preach.
