Book Description

Publication Date: 7 May 1998

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 Walker

The `wild woman' is the wise and ageless presence in the feminine psyche that gives women their creativity, energy and power. For centuries, the `wild woman` has been repressed by a male-orientated value system which trivializes women`s emotions. The author uses a combination of time-honoured stories and contemporary casework to explain that the `wild woman` in us all innately healthy, passionate and wise. Passionately written and compelling in its arguements, Women Who Run With The Wolves will give contemporary readers a new sense of direction, a self-confidence and purpose in their lives.

Review

This book offers a life-enhancing way to make contact with our deep feminine instincts: the wild woman within (Irish Times )

All women should read this. In fact, mothers should pass the knowledge contained in these pages down to their daughters as they turn 16. It's insightful and inspirational and gets you back in touch with your authentic self (T4 Presenter Jude Sarpong )

A wonderful book...for anybody who cares about their relationships and their lives (Anne Devlin, playwright )

5.0 out of 5 stars Very important reading for modern women 15 Feb 2004
By daisyrock
Format:Paperback
This is simply one of the most important and helpful books I've read. So many women today are struggling with depression, stress, or a sense of simply being unfulfilled. I know, I'm one. More and more we turn to destructive behaviours - maybe drinking, drugs, soul-destroying relationships or jobs .... or we try to be a 'good girl' at all costs. What is it that we're missing in our lives and in our hearts and souls? I looked and looked for a long time. Even modern psychology seemed to anger and depress me as so much of it is tainted with seemingly un-noticed and unchallengable patriarchy and prejudice. This book touched, thrilled and enlightened me. It doesn't patronise, it doesn't proscribe and it doesn't lump 'women' into a one-size-fits-all category as so many other Jungian based texts seem to do. It's just a starting point, of course, for reinventing and improving your life - both inner and outer life. The book won't do the work for you. But it may well present you with options, ideas and perspectives that hadn't struck you before. I'd recommend this book to all 'seekers' as well as to therapists, mothers, daughters and indeed fathers, boyfriends and husbands who want to break the cycle.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasured book of loving wisdom 21 May 2007
By Cohi
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I turned thirteen my mum gave me a copy of this book, telling me, "This is a book that no woman should be without." I was thrilled with having a "grown-up" book, and treasured it. It took me several years to understand it enough to read beyond the wonderful stories...but then one day I started reading and it all just clicked. I couldn't put it down and it has been my constant companion ever since.

This is a beautifully written book made up of many stories, some well-known and others less so, explanations of these stories and what they can teach us about ourselves and advice on how to implement these insights for the maximum feeling of freedom and happiness in our everyday life. This book has helped me through many times when I was in need of comfort and strength and will help me through more to come.

Whether reading the stories or the interpretations of them, it is like reading pure poetry. Clarissa Estes speaks with wisdom about things that she has obviously spent her life studying and learning.

One reviewer talked about this as being a book for man-haters. I have been reading it for well over 10 years now and I never ever got that impression. I don't see why glorifying the feminine has to equal hating the masculine. For me this book is about feeling more empowered in myself as a woman, and not anything to do with the putting down of men.

I have recommended it to many friends, as well as buying it for one (who loves it as much as I do), and I am planning on giving it to more friends soon. Give yourself a treat and buy it today, it's a purchase that will last you a lifetime.

5.0 out of 5 stars the most comfortable read of my life 10 Feb 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is a truly beautiful work of truth that any woman can find comfort in - when i am feeling anxious i pick it up and i am put at ease and inspired to make my next move with a clearer head and heart. I have surpressed my intuition for a while now and have been suffering panic attacks and feelings of complete betrayel (to myself) and shame in the face of society's expectations for me to conform and ignore my female emotions. But this book has highlighted what i always knew: i am the only one that i should listen to. When i put it down i have a stronger heart and a quicker mind and i would recommend this book to any woman going through powerful and frightening change -this book will become your best reference for a fulfilling way forward.
