WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES
An absolutely wonderful book that has spent exactly one year on the
New York Time Bestseller list (as of 8/8/93), more often than not in
the Number one spot.

Invaluable to anyone (not just women) who is feeling trapped, or feels
that there is something else that they need, that is not being
expressed. Also for anyone who is being oppressed by family or others,
this offers insight into the way their minds are working, and what you
can do to get out of it.

Clarrisa Pinkola Estes also offers insight into the types of healing
needed by people who have been in that kind of oppression, and what
they need to do for a nd to themselves.

All in all, an excellent, excellent book. If you haven't gotten it
already, go out and find a copy.

In the same vein, Z. Budapest's _Goddess in the Office_--Wild Woman
for the Working Woman

Blessed be,

_I_ loved Women Who Run W/ the Wolves!  I think you will be very
pleased and touched with a lot of the imagery.  Estes is very good at
spinning a yarn or two!  Beware, tho!  Don't be discouraged if you
have to put it down for a while.  It is a ton to digest!

Blessed Be,
Helle

[quoting Ceridwen's recommendation for Women who run with the Wolves]

I have to agree.  I've been reading it for the past month in and
around about a zillion other books I've been reading at the same time.
I am in the last section, and I will probably reread the book again as
soon as I finish the first time.

Yes!  I had been feeling very trapped creativewise, and really needed
to make more time to express myself.  The book was on sale at BookStar
because it was a bestseller and was almost half off for me because I
had a booksaver's card (or whatever they call it).  I didn't know\ if
it would be good, but it seemed like a good deal, so I took a chance
and bought it.  I am very glad I did, because that book helped cheer
me up a bit.

Exactly.  For me, it wasn't the only help I needed, but it did indeed
help.  I am not totally up to my full creative self yet, but I feel
like I am making progress, where I just felt stuck before.

Will wonders never cease.  I bought that book as well, soon after I
bought _Women Who run with Wolves_.  It seemed like another book that
could help and it did give me a few needed ideas.  I noticed the 'Wild
Woman' references in both books.  One could just as well put 'Goddess'
in the place of 'Wild Woman' in both books for those who are so
inclined.

Another thing I liked about _Women Who Run With Wolves_ is it orients
the chapter topics around fairy tales, legends, stories, whatever you
want to call them.

I definitely second these book recommendations.
