Sintesi dell'editore
Drawing from her work as a psychoanalyst and cantadora (keeper of old stories), Dr. Estes uses myths and folktales to illustrate how societies systematically strip away the feminine spirit.

Guess I know what "Abridged" means now....
Would you listen to Women Who Run with the Wolves again? Why?
Only if I could get the "entire" book on audio, didn't realize this wasn't the whole book
What did you like best about this story?
Love her storytelling!
What about Clarissa Pinkola Estes’s performance did you like?
The way she tells stories
Any additional comments?
I'm REALLY disappointed that this was so short - is there another way to get the entire book on audio?

Book is superb; Audible edition is a ripoff.
I didn't realize "abridged" meant only two chapters. The book is one of my all-time favorites. This audible edition is a letdown.

Really short
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I also have a new appreciation for the word 'abridged.' This book is difficult to 'summarize.' The audible version is a good overview, but I wish I knew that the stories would be missed. I would have spent this 2 hours reading my book book.

Is not the entire book
This does not include the entire book. Just a compressed version. Not all the mythes are included. No chapters and is hard to follow.

too abridged - too softly spoken
Would you try another book from Clarissa Pinkola Estes and/or Clarissa Pinkola Estes?
I love the actual brick and mortar book . And I have two more of hers - unabridged - in my cart right now.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Too softly spoken. I listen while driving and it's hard to pay attention with her soft, slow voice. It also lulls me to sleep a little. I've restarted a couple times, realizing that my mind was wandering and I had missed so much.
Any additional comments?
I love the actual brick and mortar book - and it's huge. I can't believe they condensed it in to less than 3 hours. It's too abridged

Empowering!
Women who run with the wolves is my all time favorite book anyways. The audio version allows me to enjoy it on my commute. This is a great book to listen to when you need strength. Enjoy!

Loved it
This audio was much easier to listen to than trying to read the book, which I found very hard going. The narration is perfect and the stories brilliant. I loved it.

Excellent!
I read Women Who Run With The Wolves about two years ago. I was so inspired by the author's work that I made sure all my friends, men and women, knew about it. I think it is a must read, especially for women who feel a great need to rediscover and reclaim their sacred wolf bones in order to truly run free, without inhabition. Wild, like our nature. And especially for the men who love the wolf and want to understand her being and not capture her soul. I LOVE this audio. And the best part is Dr. Marissa Pinkola Estes narrated the audio book herself, now how lucky can one get?

Too short
Any additional comments?
This was far shorter than I expected. It was not clear just how abridged it was. Having read the book many years ago I was looking forward to hearing the depth of the work but it stopped after two chapters. I wouldn't choose to pay this much for such a short version. Very disapointed.

Abridged version narrated by the author
An excellent recording by the author herself, who as a storyteller and “cantadora” is exactly the right person to read it, and at times, sing it.
Note that it is not the full book. I did not know this before I downloaded it and was a little disappointed. However the recording at 2h20m long is very accessible and a great introduction to the book (which is very long and dense). It covers the main concepts and stories of the book. Excellent and highly recommended.

I feel conned
Unfortunately this audio version is not the whole book. It's merely a couple of chapters, out of 16. I bought it to listen to in the car, on my way to and from work, as I don't have the time to read the book at the moment. I was left with the feeling of having been conned. What a rip off!!!

A book for the wild woman in all of us...
Any additional comments?
Clarissa Pinkola Estes is a beautiful story teller. Every message she shares is done so with eloquence using tales of old brought magnificently into the here and now. I cannot recommend this enough.

Amazingly insightful!!!!
An amazing read for both men and women. For women, this book finally makes sense of why our lives are the way they are. For men, it allows men a greater understanding of the innate beauty present in every woman. This is a book that every young person should read or have read to them. It explaines why every person is a unique individual and should be honoured as such.
