| You Are a Heroine introduces the Hero’s Journey schema to women who haven’t read Joseph Campbell and who don’t know that the powerful journey model applies to their life just as much as it does to the lives of our male cultural heroes. Liller wants women to learn about the model so it can be a powerful confidence-generating engine in their lives. “The author’s straightforward, conversational writing is a pleasure, but it’s her ability to help women interpret their circumstances in a more adventurous, intuitive way that makes this book unique. While male heroes have been traditionally defined by their physical battles, “Heroineism,” Liller writes, “is about having the courage to expand from within. You Are a Heroine gives us a fresh way of seeing just how far we can go.” – Blue Ink Starred Review |
