I read this book at a time in my life when I was open to looking at who I really am. Each chapter resonated with something deep within that I had been hungering and searching for. This was the pivitol book that began my personal healing inner work. I recommend this book to any woman who wants to find the parts of herself she has lost or disowned. It is much easier to read with the right side of the brain and it does require emotional work as you go along, but very well worth it.

I read this book several years ago during a two year period of going through a divorce. This book empowered me to get in touch with my inner female voice, listen to my instincts and trust them again (because they were always sending me warning signals I was told to ignore by my overbearing, controlling spouse at the time). This is a wonderful collection of tales from many cultures that remind us women that we are born with an instinctual knowledge of things to come. We, unfortunately, allow others (i.e. the men in our lives) to tell us we are too sensitive, overreacting, imagining things, jealous, distrusting, etc., only to discover that those instincts were right on the mark the entire time! This should be on every woman's bookshelf!

Whatever you do in life you must first read this book. It will give you invaluable insights into who you are as a person - you will be empowered.

I was disappointed that this CD was not unabridged, as it says it it. It was very short, a little over 2hrs, and did not give nearly the depth of the book. Had I known it was unabridged, I would not have purchased it.

I loved this book. Until reading it, I never realized how much we women have lost due to the control imposed on us by patriarchy.

This book truly makes you think! Each story made me delve deeper into my own psyche. I realized things about myself that I never thought possible. This book makes you stronger! It validates the importance and necessity to be a 'Wild Woman'! I recommend this book to all women who feel that something isn't quite right. It helps you understand what has been missing from your life and gives you permission to be yourself - to be your 'Wild Woman'! Take note: if you're looking for an easy read, this is not the book for you.

"Women Who Run With the Wolves" is roughly 500 pages long and well worth reading. It is such astounding to see or rather to understand the concept of legends and myths to bring forth the psyche of the women. There are fifteen chapters in this book, and each of them revealed new stories and they are truly enlightening.

The one story that got me to read and re-read is the "Bluebeard" story, which is really mind-boggling and chilling.

This is very enlightening read and full of powerful insights. And, I do recommend this book to anyone, even men who want to understand their female aspects and the inner nature of women.

I am enjoying this book ever so much and think that all women should indulge themselves by reading it. it has shown me how to grow more into myself

Dr. Estes has written an inspiring book for women who are at a crossroads in their lives, or just trying to understand themselves better. By examining myths and fairy tales Dr. Estes shows us how to tap into our deeper psyche and instincts that help us reconnect with the wild and fierce power within ourselves, and become more vital women.

This book got me through many crazy moments in my life. I love Estes's passionate and chatty prose style. Everytime I pick it up to read I find something new to think about

A must read for all strong women! This book will connect you to a side that you've probably become disconnected with... Give it a read!
