Overview
'Ordinary Heroines' is about the search for a new paradigm, that of a contemporary heroine. A heroine is not simply a female hero. The key to the contemporary heroine is that she substitutes moral courage for the physical bravery of the traditional hero, and enacts her 'hero-ine-ism' from within the parameters of her ordinary life.Book Details
