How do women undertake the twin quests of healing and empowerment? And how can heroic women help reshape our chaotic world? Dr. Kathleen Noble charts the contemporary women's hero-path through the poignant, dynamic stories of women she has studied over the past ten years. From their rich histories she has fashioned a new framework for understanding life's events, and shows women how to devise new archetypes of heroism out of their own experiences.
