Women Who Run With The Wolves
Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman
By Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Harry Hartog's review
I recommend this book to every woman in my life. They all return my copy to me with new annotations and stories of how it changed them. Estés weaves myth, story archetypes and psychology to revive and unearth the mysterious workings of ‘the wild woman.’ Recalling ancient lore and folk-tales from around the world, she sings life back to Death in the story of Skeleton Woman; she strides into the hut of the ancient Baba Yaga and returns to tell the tale; she pulls The River Underneath The River, Río Abajo Río, back onto the planes of our world and invites us to bathe in it’s waters. Mystifying and utterly magnificent. - Malsha, Harry Hartog Macquarie
Description
The 2 million-copy bestselling cult feminist classic
'Anyone who can read should read this book' Maya Angelou
'Estes points to storytelling, our ancient narratives, as a way for women to reconnect to the Wild Woman all women have within themselves, but have lost' Emma Watson
Go out in the woods, go out. If you don't go out in the woods nothing will ever happen and your life will never begin.
Within every woman, there lies a powerful force of energy, creativity and self-knowing- their wild woman. For centuries, she has been repressed by a male-orientated value system that trivialises her emotions. Until now.
With a combination of time-honoured stories, myths, fairy tales and casework, this is the feminist classic loved by over 2 million women, that will set you on a beautiful path to unleash your inner wild.
