Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype | Clarissa Pinkola Est�s Phd

I'm going to do this from a different perspective... Louisa May Alcott for rocking my childhood with Jo March; Jane Austen for inspiring me with Elizabeth Bennett in my 20s; Virginia Woolf for blowing my mind with A room of ones own in my 30s; George Sand for writing wonderful women and advocating for women's rights; Margaret Atwood for scaring me with her very real dystopian society into never stop fighting; Ursula Le Guin for showing me ⬇️

nanuska_153 that women write the best fantasy; Gloria Steinem and Remi Eddo-Lodge for teaching me intersectional feminism, Jameela Jamil for her irreverent unapologetic feminism that makes me laugh...But also every woman that has ever spoken up when sexually assaulted, specially all those who had to face a society that scrutinized, blamed and insulted them. They are all my heroes and I stand on your shoulders. 4d

And so our journey begins! Feel free to comment here and on your own page and on each others pages as we begin this community of Wild Women reading. Over the next week consider posting about A particular segment you read and why it spoke to you. I am tagging everyone who requested so far- please tag the group in your posts so we can all participate- and feel free to add more on storygraph! This week is all about the intro!

Chrissyreadit A couple out of many lines that spoke to me : “Fear to set out ones imperfect work before it is an opus”- I have so much fear that has held me back professionally! 4d

Chrissyreadit I love Jungian archetypes. I love how vital it is that the stories we tell ourselves serve so many purposes and how we use them is vital to how we see ourselves in our own stories! I hope that I can learn more about how to use stories and my own story to grow and learn and experience 💛I can‘t wait to hear more of everyone‘s thoughts after reading each section. 4d

ElizaMarie I am almost done with the intro (and at work now so I don‘t have a direct quote but —) language is so powerful. The stories we tell ourselves, the labels we give ourselves matter so much- I know you, as a clinician, know how person first language has been proven invaluable. 4d

GingerAntics So like yesterday to Saturday is intro, and then first chapter next week? Sorry, my brain is still a bit foggy and I want to make sure I catch up properly. 3d

Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics this week to read intro- i‘m trying out posting thoughts/questions to use to reflect as you read or answer after - next sunday i will consider day one of part one- so this week is just about reading and reflecting on intro. 3d

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I haven‘t started yet, so I don‘t necessarily know what that means, but I‘m just going with the flow! Intro it is. You got it! 3d

Women who Run with the Wolves: Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman | Clarissa Pinkola Est's

#haikuaday #haikuhive
I know to some, it's almost sacrilegious to write in a book. But, oh how I love annotating a book, and I haven't done that since my days of teaching. It's only page 1, but we'll see how much more I'll write.

First book I have marked
since teaching literature.
Now, I'm the student.

JenlovesJT47 It goes against my OCD to write in books unless they‘re workbooks. Perhaps I should try it and live a little dangerously! 😅 4d

TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 😅 4d

AnnCrystal I never liked doing this until recently. I read an article about an old book found with handwritten notes, and another article about finding review notes in a book left in a Little Free Library.

It made me reconsider, and now I absolutely love the idea of notes being written in books. It's like your connecting with the story, or sharing a notion with a future reader.

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Post-it notes work well, too! 😅 4d

dabbe @AnnCrystal Exactly! 🧡🩶💛 4d

Cuilin I love annotating books. Love, love, love.!!!! I have my page flags, pencils, highlighters and I decorated a little notebook for this!!! I feel like I‘m back at school and I love it! 🥰 4d

dabbe @Cuilin #dittodarlin'! 🧡🩶💛 4d

ElizaMarie Please add me to your tag list for this book - also- I‘m so excited to read this with y‘all! 4d

dabbe @ElizaMarie That could have been me! 🤪 I cut and pasted members from two different groups! Is she on the main list, @Chrissyreadit? 4d

Chrissyreadit @dabbe it was my mistake I am almost positive I went to add @ElizaMarie and was distracted- but now she is on all my posts! And i hope she forgives me 😣 4d

marleed I picked up an old mass market paperback of Frankenstein from an LFL and it was filled with annotations. I loved it. I also had a thrifted B&N hardback which was my primary source of reading because my eyes aren‘t fit for yellowed pages of an old mm paperback - but I referenced the annotations in the pb while reading the hb! 4d

ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit no reason to forgive! I appreciate all your hard work on this group! 4d

ElizaMarie @Cuilin I love to read others thoughts as well! (Probably why I love this community so much) - also it‘s sometimes insightful to go back and see what I thought during a first read and how much I‘ve grown since then. 4d

Cuilin @ElizaMarie I love seeing others annotations in second hand books. I love all types of book chatter. 4d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit 🧡🩶💛 4d

dabbe @marleed The collective knowledge is just incredible, isn't it? 🧡🩶💛 4d

dabbe @ElizaMarie 🧡🩶💛 4d

lil1inblue I love annotating my books! My grandfather passed when I was young, but I was able to get to know him by the annotations he left in his books. 💓 4d

dabbe @lil1inblue This just brought me chills. 💛💜🧡 4d

Chrissyreadit @lil1inblue that is beautiful and a gift! 3d

Chrissyreadit This is my first time annotating a book outside of college- and in theory lmpbc- but i was terrible at annotating those! 3d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit I would be beyond terrible--especially since I have no idea what they are! 😂 3d

Chrissyreadit @dabbe litsy mark up postal book club- groups of 4 and you annotated as you read so that when you got your book back you had everyone‘s notes of what they thought as they read the book. 3d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit Now that you mention this, I dimly remember seeing this on Litsy. Is it not being done anymore? Too much work? It sounds like a fabulous idea. 3d

Chrissyreadit it was fabulous! and ran strong for about 7 years- that‘s 21 or so rounds! then people stopped signing up for it so suvata ended it. i bet it could be revived in some form. it was an endeavor- there were usually 26 or so groups of 4. 3d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit Hmmm. 🤔 3d

lil1inblue @Chrissyreadit I love that (lmpbc)! My mom and I do that together, and it's so interesting! 3d

Chrissyreadit @dabbe @lil1inblue I think some of the groups continue on their own. the way it worked was that 4 people agreed on a theme or genre- then shared choices of books then everyone voted for the book they were most interested in (for example i would pick 4 fantasies off my shelf and see if anyone had read them- those are removed from choice, then based on a book with most interest and each person did same. it was fun! 3d

@GingerAntics @nanuska_153 my copy is on the right, and a hardcover I just finished on the left. 😬

GingerAntics Oof, so little space between the lines. That is uncomfortable. I hate when they do that. Things start bleeding together then and it is exhausting. 5d

Chrissyreadit Oh no!!! is there a way to get a used hardcover copy? or higher magnification reading glasses? that small print looks awful! 5d

ravenlee @Chrissyreadit I had forgotten how bad my copy was. I mean, also, my eyes have NOT improved in the intervening years! I think I can start with this and look for a replacement in the meantime. I had to give up on The House of the Seven Gables a few years ago and get a library copy for the same reason. I should have read my bargain copies when I was young (and when I bought them). 5d

Chrissyreadit @ravenlee i have a used bookstore next to my office- would you like me to check in there? 5d

nanuska_153 Yes we have the same edition 😂😂 I can tell, I bought this book online, there's no way I would have picked a copy this bad in person. Those days are gone now that I'm not a student and I work hard to have the money to buy nice editions! 4d

ravenlee Thanks @Chrissyreadit but I just ordered a new copy. I can do my best with the tiny print until it arrives! 3d

Chrissyreadit ok ❤️❤️❤️ 3d
