Join The Explorers Club on Monday, March 13th for a virtual celebration of Women’s History Month.
Joseph Campbell’s 1949 The Hero with a Thousand Faces identified a male-coded narrative that could be found in every culture. That “marvelously constant” story was a redemptive journey filled with adventures, with heroes returning from battling monsters and bringing an elixir or “boon” back home.
Women have a story too, and they are not just mothers and muses, as Campbell thought. Like Scheherazade in the Arabian Nights, they have used words as their weapons and stories as their shields, less to seek glory or immortality than to survive, secure justice, and change the culture in which they live.
Maria Tatar will take us on a journey that begins with a study of Campbell’s monomyth and identifies the features of heroines ranging from Arachne and Philomela to Wonder Woman and Nancy Drew. In this new pantheon, we will discover how curious, caring women use their craft to make the world fair, in both senses of the term.
This event is streaming-only, no reservations are required.
