Thanks Catriona. No I have never heard of Clarissa Estes or her book about women and the wolves. And based on your comments I might leave it unread! By coincidence - or maybe not? - there was an article in The Guardian magazine last Saturday about the re-wolving of Northern Germany. Farmers are not keen, others are. But not Ursula von der Leyen whose favourite pony was eaten by a wolf!
Another fascinating, insightful and beautifully-written blog. I wonder have you ever heard of 'Women Who Run With The Wolves' by Clarissa Estes and whether, like me, you have resented the many wasted hours of your life reading her take on the myths and stories about the wild woman archetype? Such a disappoinment at every conceivable level - but her work is nonetheless further evidence of our fascinations with the wild and, in particular, wolves. Thank you for introducing to me to so many more worthwhile considerations of the wolf!
