Summary
In the classic Women Who Run With The Wolves， Clarissa Pinkola Estes tells us about the 'wild woman'， the wise and ageless presence in the female psyche that gives women their creativity， energy and power。 For centuries， the 'wild woman' has been repressed by a male-orientated value system which trivialises women's emotions。 Using a combination of time-honoured stories and contemporary casework， Estes reveals that the 'wild woman' in us is innately healthy， passionate and wise。
Thoughtfully written and compelling in its arguments， Women Who Run With The Wolves gives readers a new sense of direction， a self confidence and purpose in their lives。

I really enjoyed the stories， but not really the analysis the author makes of them， I found them to be too repetitive。 Also， some of the words/phrases in Spanish are misspelled or badly translated， which made me doubt about the translation she gives of Japanese or Hungarian words。 I really think she could have double-checked them。 After finishing this book， I got the impression that the author is too full of herself， as in， she wants to prove she's very knowledgeable about many cultures and trad I really enjoyed the stories， but not really the analysis the author makes of them， I found them to be too repetitive。 Also， some of the words/phrases in Spanish are misspelled or badly translated， which made me doubt about the translation she gives of Japanese or Hungarian words。 I really think she could have double-checked them。 After finishing this book， I got the impression that the author is too full of herself， as in， she wants to prove she's very knowledgeable about many cultures and traditions but at the same time she's not capable of checking the spelling of the words she borrowed from them？ I might just be a disappointed Spanish translator， but still。 。。。more

när ska jag sluta leka cool och bara inse att jag inte vill läsa något annat än romaner。 allt annat tar tre miljarder år att ta sig igenom hur intressant jag än tycker det är när jag väl läser。 näej hejdå nu ska jag läsa om jana kippo istället

Много измъчено прочетена книга。。。500стр。 се повтаря едно и също， без да се каже нищо смислено。 Изопачени приказки и легенди нагласени според това， което иска да ни внуши авторът。 Може би най-безмислената книга， която някога съм чела。

Skaitydavau šią knygą prieš miegą kelis mėnesius ir kiekvieną kartą vis stebėdavausi， kiek čia išminties， kiek pažįstamų dalykų aprašyta。 Niekad neteko užmigti su nemaloniu jausmu krūtinėje – kaip tik tai labai terapeutiškas， padrąsinantis kūrinys。 Jis leido suprasti， kad nors jausmai， kuriuos išgyvename， atrodo tik mūsų problema ir niekieno kito， dažnai tai visuotinis reiškinys。 Buvo prisiliesta prie tokių įdomių dalykų kaip intuicija， laikas sau – „grįžimas namo“， gyvybės ir mirties ciklai – „ Skaitydavau šią knygą prieš miegą kelis mėnesius ir kiekvieną kartą vis stebėdavausi， kiek čia išminties， kiek pažįstamų dalykų aprašyta。 Niekad neteko užmigti su nemaloniu jausmu krūtinėje – kaip tik tai labai terapeutiškas， padrąsinantis kūrinys。 Jis leido suprasti， kad nors jausmai， kuriuos išgyvename， atrodo tik mūsų problema ir niekieno kito， dažnai tai visuotinis reiškinys。 Buvo prisiliesta prie tokių įdomių dalykų kaip intuicija， laikas sau – „grįžimas namo“， gyvybės ir mirties ciklai – „yra laikas gimti ir yra laikas mirti“。 Labai patiko mintys apie pačios gyvenimo tėkmės cikliškumą， natūralų kintamumą。 Manau， kad reikėtų šią knygą paskaityti ne kartą ir skirtingais gyvenimo laikotarpiais。 Istorijas vienaip galima interpretuoti pagal savo supratimą būnant 20-ies， bet jos visiškai kitaip atsiskleistų moteriai būnant 30-ies， 40-ies ir t。t。 。。。more

This text has a lot to offer。 The allegories and walkthrough analysis are ever relevant & applicable， offering insight & comfort with regard to human nature & life experiences。 It is wordy & redundant， i do wish it were more concise but perhaps there is something in it being a bit challenging to digest。 Fortunately， you can jump around although earlier stories are referenced sometimes。 I found the first couple chapters the most annoying to get through but I would say it is wholly worth the read。 This text has a lot to offer。 The allegories and walkthrough analysis are ever relevant & applicable， offering insight & comfort with regard to human nature & life experiences。 It is wordy & redundant， i do wish it were more concise but perhaps there is something in it being a bit challenging to digest。 Fortunately， you can jump around although earlier stories are referenced sometimes。 I found the first couple chapters the most annoying to get through but I would say it is wholly worth the read。 This text came into my life about 10 years ago， i revisit it often & have gifted it and shared excerpts several times over。 A testament to and preservation of traditional oral stories and values that face erasure。 I consider Women Who Run with Wolves a staple in my personal library。 。。。more

I wanted to like this whole book but I only enjoyed the folklore analysis and interpretation parts。 The collection of myths was definitely well chosen。The psychoanalysis part， in my opinion， could have been halved; many parts of the book just seemed repeated over and over again with not much substance added。

I'm not going to rate this book because I'm not sure how to。 It has an academic feel to it。 I enjoyed the tales and it's symbolism。 Some chapters resonated more with me than others。 It's a thought provoking read and I read it really slowly。 An accompanying podcast that reviewed each chapter that I listened to was very useful in getting through this book。 Some very meaningful insights for all women with lots of gold nuggets of eye opening ideas。 I'm not going to rate this book because I'm not sure how to。 It has an academic feel to it。 I enjoyed the tales and it's symbolism。 Some chapters resonated more with me than others。 It's a thought provoking read and I read it really slowly。 An accompanying podcast that reviewed each chapter that I listened to was very useful in getting through this book。 Some very meaningful insights for all women with lots of gold nuggets of eye opening ideas。 。。。more

A bit too ~new age than I usually care for， but I really enjoyed it。 Lots of interesting things - I really like the concept （of course I do） of how some of us are born into families that are deserts and how we can't flourish in that environment。 A bit too ~new age than I usually care for， but I really enjoyed it。 Lots of interesting things - I really like the concept （of course I do） of how some of us are born into families that are deserts and how we can't flourish in that environment。 。。。more

I admit I haven't finished it yet， but that's only because this book is so dense with information。 It takes me weeks sometimes to 'unpack' it mentally。 That's not to say that it's not comprehensible， but quite the contrary - its depth is overwhelming and every story has layers。 It's a type of book I would not be able to read or understand in my 20's， but now in my mid 30's， it's a gift I buy for my female friends。 It will not make sense if you expect feminist bullshit， but it will make sense if I admit I haven't finished it yet， but that's only because this book is so dense with information。 It takes me weeks sometimes to 'unpack' it mentally。 That's not to say that it's not comprehensible， but quite the contrary - its depth is overwhelming and every story has layers。 It's a type of book I would not be able to read or understand in my 20's， but now in my mid 30's， it's a gift I buy for my female friends。 It will not make sense if you expect feminist bullshit， but it will make sense if you are a bit familiar with Carl Jung's work， have an interest in psychology and have attempted to somehow answer the question of 'Who am I？' and 'What does it actually mean to be a woman？'。 Every chapter of this book is filled with a lot of information， spanning from all ends of the world; stories， their symbolism and meaning respective to the female and the feminine。 Again， the density of the information sometimes makes me spend days pondering。 I engage into deep discussions with friends about the point of view presented in the stories and it's always so eye-opening and horizon expanding for everyone involved。 Definitely highly recommended， but once again， if you are not familiar with Jung and symbolism （and by proxy， some spiritual concepts and symbols）， it will mean little to nothing。 。。。more

Bitti ama ben de bittim。 Evet güzeldi çok iyi yerlere değiniyordu ama bir o kadar da katılmadığım yer vardı。 Çok fazla kendini tekrarladığını hissettim sürekli psişe psişe ruh ruh tin tin gına geldi。 Ayrıca kadınları sürekli tek bir tiplemenin üzerine itmeye çalışmasını da sevmedim。 Sürekli bir içimizdeki sanatçıyı ortaya çıkarma derdi。 İçimde sanatçı bir taraf yoksa ben benliğini kaybetmiş kadın mı oluyorum illa ki。 Güzel taraflarına odaklanarak yüksek veriyorum yine de ve alıntılara geçersek:" Bitti ama ben de bittim。 Evet güzeldi çok iyi yerlere değiniyordu ama bir o kadar da katılmadığım yer vardı。 Çok fazla kendini tekrarladığını hissettim sürekli psişe psişe ruh ruh tin tin gına geldi。 Ayrıca kadınları sürekli tek bir tiplemenin üzerine itmeye çalışmasını da sevmedim。 Sürekli bir içimizdeki sanatçıyı ortaya çıkarma derdi。 İçimde sanatçı bir taraf yoksa ben benliğini kaybetmiş kadın mı oluyorum illa ki。 Güzel taraflarına odaklanarak yüksek veriyorum yine de ve alıntılara geçersek:"Kızlara her türlü tuhaflığı görmezden gelmeleri， onları hoşa gider hale getirmeleri öğretilir。""Çocuklarını istismar eden ana babalara yalnızca “katı” denildiği; iliklerine kadar sömürülen kadınların ruhsal yaralanmalarına “sinir krizi” adı verildiği; sımsıkı korselere sokulan， sımsıkı gemlenen ve sımsıkı dizginlenen kız ve kadınların “edepli，” “zarif” görüldüğü bir zamandı ve hayatın sayılı anlarında yakalarını kurtarmasını beceren diğer kadınlar ise “kötü” damgası yediler。"" Birçok kadın Mavisakal masalını harfi harfine yaşamıştır。 Henüz yok ediciler konusunda safdilken evlenen bu kadınlar， hayatlarına yıkım getiren birini seçerler。 Bu kişiyi sevgiyle “iyileştirme”ye kararlıdırlar。 Bir şekilde “evcilik oynarlar。 Vakitlerinin büyük bir kısmını， “Sakalı aslında o kadar da mavi değil，” diyerek geçirdikleri söylenebilir。"" Kadınların merakına tamamen olumsuz bir anlam yüklenirken， aynı özellikteki erkekler araştırmacı adı yakıştırılmıştır。"" Yasaklamalarına uymak için sizden ruhunuza zarar vermenizi talep eden bir kültür， gerçekte çok hasta bir kültürdür。 "" Kadınların garip olanı aşağılamasını， yeni ve olağan dışı olandan kuşku duymasını; ateşli， coşkulu， yenilikçi olandan kaçınmasını; kişisel olanı kişisellikten ayırmasını yüreklendiren herhangi bir grup， toplum， grup ya da örgüt， bir ölü kadınlar kültürü istemektedir。 "" Bir kadın fazlasıyla “iyi yetişmiş” olmaya razı olduğunda， bu itkilere yönelik içgüdüleri azar azar en karanlık bilinçdışına， otomatik olarak ulaşabileceği bölgenin dışına itilir。 Bu durumda， içgüdülerinin zedelenmiş olduğu söylenir。 İçgüdüsü zedelenmiş kadının seçim gücü yoktur。 Olduğu yere saplanır kalır。 "“Bir kadın， kültürün ve yeryüzünün parçalanmasını bir gecede durduramayabilir， ama kendi bedenine bunu yapmayı bırakabilir。 ” “Benim için yalnızlık daha çok kendimle birlikte her yere taşıdığım ve ihtiyaç duyduğumda etrafıma açtığım katlanmış bir orman gibidir”"Sevmek， onunla birlikte kalmak demektir。 Fantezi dünyasından çıkıp kalıcı bir sevginin mümkün olduğu; yüzyüze， kemik kemiğe bir adanma sevgisinin mümkün olduğu bir dünyaya girmek demektir。 Sevmek， her bir hücreniz "kaç！" derken， kalmak demektir。"。。。。 。。。more

Oh my goodness。 The stories themselves were good！ The analysis was repetitive， self important and not really informative。 An analysis of the evolution of the stories would have been more captivating but consistently talking about my psyche in regards to life and death just wasn't doing anything for me。 Cannot believe this is as beloved as it is。 I feel like I'm missing something。 Oh my goodness。 The stories themselves were good！ The analysis was repetitive， self important and not really informative。 An analysis of the evolution of the stories would have been more captivating but consistently talking about my psyche in regards to life and death just wasn't doing anything for me。 Cannot believe this is as beloved as it is。 I feel like I'm missing something。 。。。more
