Promotional Details
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
 
“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
 
“The work of Clarissa Pinkola Estés, rooted in old and deep family rites and in archetypal psychology, recognizes that the soul is not lost, but has been put to sleep. 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

Powerful reading

"Beautiful and powerful teachings. Have read it over more than once."

Lynda R. (5/5)

Surpassed expectations.

"So far this book has surpassed all of my expectations. Steeped in history and tradition and pulling stories from the past, this is a real ride. Digging deep into women."

Jill (5/5)

A must read

"A must read for every woman. A keeper for future references."

Irish77 (5/5)

Love the image the title paints in my mind.

"I love this book. I feel like it’s a must read along a woman’s journey of her own self discovery to unbury parts of herself she didn’t know were there."

Steph (5/5)

This book is a lifelong companion. . .

"Of all the books I have ever held,""""Women Who Run With the Wolves"""" has been my bible. Each story and analysis within it carries its own profound relevance, speaking directly to the different seasons of a woman's life. Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés is a masterful storyteller, weaving together myths and tales with deep references to Jungian psychology and archetypes. This is not an easy read for the mind, demanding introspection; yet, for the weary feminine soul, it is nothing short of a healing salve. It is a call to remember, reclaim, and liberate the authentic nature within. This book is a timeless and essential manual for any woman hearing the distant call of her own spirit."

L. T. (5/5)

A book that all women have to read

"A book that all women have to read at least once in their lives!"

Women Who Run With The Wolves

"I bought this book as a gift for a friend after seeing it cited in several places and after seeing the accolades & reviews. I wish I had a chance to read more of it before I gifted it, but this collection of thoughts & essays is very well crafted & written. I highly recommend it for anyone rediscovering themself and looking for inspiration."

Larry (5/5)
