5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for all women and men, if they dare!, 15 Nov 2008
This review is from: The Wise Wound (Paperback)
Since this book was first published I have owned 5 copies, each of which have been lent out and never returned because it was so enjoyed, and subsequently passed on to more readers. In this post feminist era, so much about the true wisdom and power of women has been passed over. This book has no doubt about both those things. Read it and reclaim some of the sensing and celebration of what it is to be a woman. For men, if you read this, and I hope you do, it will forever change your understanding of and therefor your relationships with women for the better. I LOVE this book and have never read anybook on the subject of being female/womanhood that has more inspired, enriched and encouraged me. I would also highly recommend Women Who Run with the Wolves: Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman (Classic Edition) but that comes from another angle altogether.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changer, 13 Jun 2009
By Ms. Yarrow Wolfe (devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Wise Wound (Paperback)
This book changed my life, I read it at 24 years old and for the last 12 years have been growing my own wisdom as a result. I don't know who I would be had I not read this book.
It gave me a language for something which had only ever been taboo before, emotional literacy on what it is to be a woman and tools to help me understand the body that I live in.
I am deeply grateful that this book is still out there.
