Folklorist Maria Tatar reveals a long-buried history of heroines, taking us from Cassandra and Scheherazade to Nancy Drew and Wonder Woman.
What The Reviewers Say
For the distinguished folklorist Maria Tatar, Philomela’s resourcefulness—literally, her craftiness—places her in a secret lineage of truth-telling women.
... erudite but frustratingly unfocused.
The 'hero's journey' gets a much-needed makeover.
[A] rewarding if scattershot literary history.
