Review: To understand onesself one must read deeply - Have you ever had a book come across your path numerous times? You hear about it, read clips of it on blogs or message boards but never get around to picking it up? "Women Who Run with the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes is one of those books. It sat on my wish list for months. It wasn't until I read about it on during my studies on society and women that I decided to finally borrowed the book from the library. I am glad I did. Two chapters into the book I realized: I don't want to borrow this book, I must own it. "Women Who Run with the Wolves" is well written and makes you stop, look, listen, and pay attention with your soul. You will need time to read this book to get its full value. It is not reading time that makes it a long read, it is thinking time. This book will address the feelings, thoughts and emotions that you have at the core of your existence. It is a starting point to being honest with yourself. In the simplest of terms it is the handbook on womanhood, intuition, and creativity. Many books on being a woman or understanding a woman seem to tell you about women and womanhood from the outside looking in. This book starts at the core of a woman and shows you layer by layer what the essence of a woman is all about. It is honest and can help a lot of woman and girls understand themselves and live fuller and more meaningful lives. It addresses our needs, joys, fears, hopes, dreams, emotions, creativity, intellect, intuition, customs, views on our self, and society. It hits so close to home that it will feel as if Dr. Estes wrote this book specifically for you. She is like a mother sitting you down and sharing her knowledge with you one beautiful word at a time. I enjoyed the stories and myths that were added to this book from various cultures. It is a great way to understand how ways of being are transferred from generation to generation. She shows us the positive and the negative. The book shows that although women are from various cultures, backgrounds, and races that at the core we are similar in experiences, fears, and love. We have a bond that crosses all these lines. Dr. Estes's book helps to connect the dots. It addressed unanswered questions in the back of my mind and uncovered feelings that were hidden. I slowly found ways to untangle other emotions and thoughts that I deemed crazy but were normal and shared with women across time. As a result look at myself and other women with new understanding. Giving this book to a young woman will be a gift that she will cherish and use throughout her adulthood. I have given copies of this book to women and many have called me to talk about it. We were able to talk about things women don't usually share and help each other. The book is an excellent bridge to create and deepen bonds with other women. I have been stopped in the street and at restaurants by people who are intrigued at the title and my presence when reading it. I have met women who have finished the book and gave me their thoughts on how it has helped them. I would like to thank Dr. Estes for taking the time and having the love in her heart to write this book. It is a book that will help create more stronger and grounded women. It is a book that I will carry with me always
Review: A must read for any feminist regardless of sex - Every human on the planet should read this book okay! Especially women! Actually just everyone. It talks about the female archetype and the role of the female throughout history and it is one of the most inspiring and strength giving books I have ever read I get a copy of this for literally every woman or girl that I meet. You could be having a horrible day and just crack that book open to almost any page and you will find something that will uplift you and make you feel like a powerful strong woman. And I feel that everyone should read this because it is important to understand and recognize and acknowledge the strength of the female archetype and the strength of females in general.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful, Poetic, and Deeply Inspiring for Women on a Journey of Growth
*by D***R on October 12, 2025*

This book is more than a collection of stories, it’s a call to reconnect with the parts of ourselves we often silence. The author weaves myths and folklore together with powerful insights about identity, intuition, and womanhood in a way that feels both ancient and relevant today. While it’s not a quick read, it’s the kind of book you sit with, reflecting, underlining, and returning to when you need a reminder of strength and purpose. I appreciated how it encouraged self-reflection and spiritual grounding, helping me see how faith, resilience, and creativity can coexist beautifully. It’s a deeply meaningful read for anyone wanting to understand themselves on a deeper level and embrace a more authentic, grounded way of living. Pro tip: read it slowly, one story at a time, it’s best absorbed with quiet reflection and an open heart.
