Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

challenging reflective slow-paced

this was an interesting read, as i either strongly disagreed or agreed with her points. you can definitely tell when it was written however this displays how far feminism has progressed. i loved the chapters on the body, sexuality, and creativity. they were really interesting and insightful. i didn’t like the brief study about animal abuse, it was unnecessary and uncomfortable. i also felt like the tales were dragged out, and i didn’t like how any male character in them was made to be part of the “female psyche” or archetype. i felt like men should have been decentralised to this book. overall, i thought despite my criticisms, it was quite thought-provoking.
