Femmes qui courent avec les loups: histoires et mythes de l'archétype de la femme sauvage

An interesting Jungian & feminist analysis of different myths and fairytales—yet often overwritten and repetitive, and disappointingly steeped in heteronormativity and gender essentialism. It took me quite a bit of time to wade through this book; it’s perhaps best read in bits and pieces, when stories and their accompanying analyses feel most relevant.

Did I finish the book or did it finish me?

This story, and the endless analyses, have truly found a place in my heart to settle. The book reflects numerous truths: both heartbreaking and hopeful. Aligned with that, it contains several quotes I know I will forever be repeating and rereading as a reminder never to forget again. I’m not a spiritual or religious person, and this book explores several topics I felt I couldn’t precisely resonate with, yet this seems irrelevant. Somehow, it still conveys a truth that applies to everyone’s reality. I don’t know how she does it, but I believe it’s a book for all — regardless of background, beliefs, or ideologies.
