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

 More than words can say! November 1, 2009
Soraya Perry
This book is so much more than words can ever say! I first read this book when I was 18 or 19 years old and since then, over 20 years later, it is still read and re-read. There is such depth, knowledge and soul to this book that with each reading I get a deeper understanding of myself, the world, archetypes...everything, really. I continue to be strengthened by this book and will most definitely read it with my daughter when she is able. A must read for everyone. A delight, a treasure, a masterpiece in the true sense of the word. Soraya

A must for all women October 21, 2009
Melinda Gallo (Florence, Italy)
I read this book when I was turning 30 and then again 10 years later. It is one of the most significant books a woman will ever read. Each myth/story allowed me to open my eyes and come to a deeper understanding of myself. I have bought this book for so many of my women friends, and they too have talked about how much it has affected them and helped them to grow. I can't say enough about it...it's a masterpiece!
Clarisa Pincola and her book Women who run with wolves saved my life July 9, 2009
Athena
This Miraculous book delves into the inner spirit of women,Through archtypical Stories,many of them classic folk lore,It reminds me of the way Jesues used to teach us by stories and parable,the subconscious understands in a more holographic way through the story form of teaching,and Clarrisa is a literary genius and spirit teacher extraordinaire!!!
I cannot put into words how deeply this book can effect the spirit inside women!!! to reawaken our inner force and wisdom!!!!it speaks to an inner part of us,a part that really is the wild nature,and It speaks in the wild woman's native tongue in such a way,that a women that has been beaten down and has had her spirit raped from her can find it once again,And I can only say that Clarisa Saved my life in ways she will never know,And I hope that she realizes what a gift she has given to humanity in writing this book of miracles,And I wish i COULD TELL HER MY SELF!!!
SHE HAS A HUGE FOLLOWING OF WOMEN THAT MEET TOGETHER AND DISCUSS THE TEACHINGS AND Grow stronger as women and as spirits and over come the desolation of both abusers and society as well as the inner nature that we all possess,that kills our spirits within before we even realize what is going on...I will say it again,Clarisa saved my life when I was in this place of no return,in chains... held hostage by Bluebeard himself!!!Because Of Clarisa I escaped and I live to tell the story!!!I recommend this book to all women who have ever been abused And to all women in general,And if the truth be known,I think that we should all be given our rightful copy of this book at birth(men too) The world would be a whole different place if this were so,It would be a world with far less pain,and a whole lot more strength,magic and miracles,Love,light and abundant wisdom,But alas I had to stumble on this book when it was almost to late!!!Thank you Clarisa,You'll never know how much I appreciate the miracle of Women who run with wolves!!!I can't recommend it enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have read it 3 times,!!!!!And when I need extra strength,I just open it up and start reading!!!!Its always exactly what I need at the moment,My guiding light!!! I keep it with me always...Ok.... its my security blanket!!! That's for sure!!!!
Sincerely,
