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

Before we were Mortals by Michelle Kingdom

This one speaks to me in 2 ways:
1. Community is so important, especially community with other women (and women, of course, includes our trans sisters, just so we're clear)
2. It's fiber art, which has often been relegated to the realm of "crafts," because it has traditionally been a female art form.

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

As we begin exploring this book together - I am considering how the image of “women” has been portrayed and changed over my life so far. Would you consider sharing a post with this quote and image of women that speaks to you? This is an image by Kiki Suarez- it has been a favorite of mine since college and is called “Many Strong and Beautiful Women”

Chrissyreadit I will check back in with goal of 1 section a week- starting this Sunday. Jump in wherever you are though. I will post about Chapter 1 beginning next Sunday, to give everyone a chance to get the book and read the intro and settle in. I‘m so excited to do this together ❤️ 12h

Cuilin I can already tell this is going to be a lovely safe space. Thank you @Chrissyreadit I‘ll get my post ready. 12h

Chrissyreadit @Cuilin ❤️ 11h

CPE states “I‘ll tell you right now, the doors to the world of Wild Women are few but precious…. If you have a scar…if you have an old, old story…if you love the water and sky so much…. If you yearn for a deeper..full…sane life… that is a door” What answers, understandings, affirmations do you seek in the books and stories you read?

Chrissyreadit I read a LOT of fantasy! where women have power, respect, opportunity… 12h

lil1inblue I love books and stories that don't necessarily provide answers, but that provoke thought. Things that ask questions. I also like reading about experiences outside my own. 12h

ImperfectCJ I'm not sure if I ask much from my books in terms of showing me a specifically woman-oriented viewpoint, but I gravitate towards stories that portray complex and nuanced characters, especially those that are realistic (i.e., flawed, neither all good nor all evil). I've been disappointed in a lot of fantasy as even in space or made-up worlds, the same gender stereotypes usually apply. I'd be interested in recs for books that break this. 8h

TheBookHippie @ImperfectCJ have you read any Chloe Gong? 6h

ImperfectCJ @TheBookHippie I haven't. It looks like she has a few series...which would you recommend? The newest (Coldwire) looks most appealing by its description, but is maybe more sci-fi than fantasy? 4h

Ok friends- this is my very first time coordinating a buddy read! 1. I am a collaborator by nature- if you want to make a post with thoughts or questions please feel free to do so- just remember to tag everyone who has joined in. 2. if you are on Storygraph join in to the discussion @CaroPi has set up.
3. I will post throughout the week as I can, respond when you can - i think as long as you are tagged you will be notified to responses.

Chrissyreadit @lil1inblue adding you! 13h

TheBookHippie Are we starting now? 🤣😅😊 13h

Cuilin I can‘t find mine but I put in a request at my library. I loved to be tagged. Thanks 13h

Deblovestoread Got my copy. Please add me. 13h

GingerAntics I need to figure out how to join a group on StoryGraph, and I need to find my copy of the book. 11h

dabbe Please add me. 🩶🤍🖤 Once you have everyone's verified handles, will you let us know? Thanks. 9h

ElizaMarie When is this starting? What are y'all doing? Chapter a day? Or some other type of schedule.
8h

Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie chapter/section a week. starting with intro now, chapter 1 a week from Sunday - participate in a way that feels good for you- i do think you would enjoy this based on the intro. 8h

Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics the link is in the comments on the first post- let me know if you do not see it. 8h

Chrissyreadit @dabbe I will update group/tag group in each post - i will add you to the others now. 8h

ImperfectCJ I found the Storygraph buddy read link in the first post and clicked and joined the buddy read, but now I can't find the first post anymore and I have yet to figure out how to get back to any buddy read I've signed up for in Storygraph without the original link. Would someone please repost the Storygraph buddy read link for me (and anyone else as confused as I am)? 8h

ImperfectCJ Nevermind...I found the first post again (Litsy has at least two pages for this book, with not all comments on all book pages, despite same title?). I can't copy-paste the link from my phone, or I'd be a team player and share it here. 8h

ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit I want in! I need to get the book first though. I‘ll check the bookstore tomorrow or order it if I don‘t see it 6h

Closing the Leadership Gap: Add Women, Change Everything | Marie C. Wilson

pick

This book built me up. It confirmed so many of the inklings I‘ve been having about roads to gender equality.
