Book excerpt: Unearths the female face of heroism and asks: What is the female hero's journey? How do women undertake the twin quests of healing and empowerment? And how can heroic women help reshape our world? Charts the contemporary woman's hero-path through the poignant stories of women she has studied. From their histories, she has fashioned a new framework for understanding life's events, and shows women how to devise new archetypes of heroism out of their own experiences. The women described are young and old, rich and poor, of all races and faiths. They set forth on their journeys in different circumstances: a stifling marriage, single parenthood, and an alcoholic family.
