Book quotes -
These include not only the encouraging of one woman to inform on another and therefore expose her to punishment for behaving in a feminine and integral manner, for registering appropriate horror or dissension to injustice, but also the encouraging of older women to collude in the physical, mental, and spiritual abuse of women who are younger, less powerful, or helpless, and the encouraging of young women to dismiss and neglect the needs of women who are far older than they. - Women Who Run With Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés - Page 241
Trying to be good, orderly, and compliant in the face of inner or outer peril or in order to hide a critical psychic or real-life situation de-souls a woman. It cuts her from her knowing; it cuts her from her ability to act. Like the child in the tale, who does not object out loud, who tries to hide her starvation, who tries to make it seem as though nothing is burning in her, modern women have the same disorder, normalizing the abnormal. This disorder is rampant across cultures. - Women Who Run With Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés - Page 243
Injury to instinct, normalizing the abnormal, is what allowed mothers to wipe the stains of that oil spill, and later, the further sins of factories, refineries, and smelters, off their little children, their laundry, the insides of their loved ones as best they could, and while confused and worried, the women effectively cut away their rightful rage. Not all but most had become used to not being able to intervene in shocking events. There were formidable punishments for breaking silence, for fleeing the cage, for pointing out wrongs, for demanding change. - Women Who Run With Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés - Page 245

Paperbacks falls apart but is a life changing read!
This book is phenomenal and the 5-stars are for the author’s work itself. It’s life changing, full of wisdom and really helps with difficult life experiences. This is the 2nd most important book of my life and I still haven’t even finished it! I’m recommending it to so many. However - Both of my copies have fallen apart. The ink smudges and lifts easily. This is my 2nd copy because the 1st one more than half the book fell out. Every section I’ve read has fallen out of my 2nd copy. I ordered the hardcover version to hopefully help and I anticipate referencing it again and again, but I don’t even know what to do about the paperback book falling apart.

- I am not going to review the book, just to warn you against buying the paperback (mass market edition). The book binding is awful. The pages came undone the moment you touch them. I am on page 60 and all the pages are loose so far. Horrible. Will have to buy it from another place to be able to read it comfortably.Reviewed in the Netherlands on September 4, 2024
