Women Who Run With The Wolves
Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman
By Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Harry Hartog's review
I recommend this book to every woman in my life. They all return my copy to me with new annotations and stories of how it changed them. Estés weaves myth, story archetypes and psychology to revive and unearth the mysterious workings of ‘the wild woman.’ Recalling ancient lore and folk-tales from around the world, she sings life back to Death in the story of Skeleton Woman; she strides into the hut of the ancient Baba Yaga and returns to tell the tale; she pulls The River Underneath The River, Río Abajo Río, back onto the planes of our world and invites us to bathe in it’s waters. Mystifying and utterly magnificent. - Malsha, Harry Hartog Macquarie
