Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

4.0

I finally got around to reading this classic text in feminist literature and found it very interesting and a great reminder of how important it is for women to engage with their creativity. I kept putting off diving into the book because of the size (517 pages!) and the dense writing with not a lot of empty space on the pages. Also the cover looks like one of those thick romance novels which I never read, but once I got past my reservations, I found a lot of useful and inspiring content. I especially appreciate the author's advice to "proudly wear the battle scars of our time, write our secrets on walls, refuse to be ashamed, and allow our anger to empower us."
