How do we explain our newfound cultural investment in empathy and social justice? For decades, Joseph Campbell had defined our cultural aspirations in The Hero with a Thousand Faces, emphasizing the value of seeking glory and earning immortality. His work became the playbook for Hollywood, with its many male-centric quest narratives. Challenging the models in Campbell's canonical work, Maria Tatar explores how heroines, rarely wielding a sword and deprived of a pen, have flown beneath the radar even as they have been bent on social missions. Using the domestic arts and storytelling skills, they have displayed audacity, curiosity, and care as they struggled to survive and change the reigning culture. Animating figures from Ovid's Philomela, her tongue severed yet still weaving a tale about sexual assault, to Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander, a high-tech wizard seeking justice for victims of a serial killer, The Heroine with 1,001 Faces creates a luminous arc that takes us from ancient times to the present"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 809.93352 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93352 Tatar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93352 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93352 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93352 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93352 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93352 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList
