Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés
4.0
The Jesuit priests of my high school had me read this, my mother was pressuring me to find a husband & shaming me every day for not being beautiful enough to find one - the priests thought this would show me that I didn't have to listen to her. Instead the book just made me angry and I hated it since it didn't line up with reality as dictated by my mother.
Now I'm twice the age I was when I first read it and it seems overly simplistic. I don't think this is the fault of the book, I think it's a good rubric to gauge one's own progress. The book did help me back then because I needed that rage to help me escape and I can more fully appreciate that by rereading it now.
