The Heroine with 1001 Faces by Maria Tatar, Liveright Publishing Corporation, USA, 2021, 368 p
Abstract
This book explores the notion of heroism from the feminist point of view by tackling notions such as curiosity and knowledge, deeds (masculine approach) vs stories (feminine approach), creativity (at the beginning limited to the domestic area) and inquisitiveness. It also reveals uncomfortable truths about how abuse, abduction, mutilation and torture forced women into silence. Moreover, the author points out that words have the power to resist injustice and that feminine heroism means the courage to break the silence and start telling 'your' story through different channels (weavings, books, social media etc).
