Deploying the domestic crafts and using words as weapons, heroines have found ways to survive assaults and rescue others from harm, all while repairing the fraying edges in the fabric of their social worlds. In this wide-ranging talk based on her new book, The Heroine with 1,001 Faces, world-renowned folklorist Maria Tatar reveals an astonishing but long-buried history of heroines, from Cassandra and Scheherazade to Nancy Drew and Wonder Woman.
