Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

3.0

I spent over two years reading this book - at some points it was exactly what I needed to hear, at some it felt tedious, and at some I felt like I was “wrong” for not being the kind of woman described. I don’t want to run naked through a forest. I wish I did, but I think I’m primal in other ways. I also felt like this book didn’t have a lot of nuance for mental health or queerness. By this book’s encouragement I moved to a new state thinking this was my moment when in reality it was detrimental to my mental health and not what I actually needed. So I liked this book, but not all the time.
