- Description
- Collection of essays highlighting female heroes during the Holocaust and sculptures about them, made by American feminist artist Linda Stein. The book tells the story of Stein’s traveling exhibition and educational initiatives in the United States, celebrating ten female heroes such as Anne Frank, Ruth Gruber and Vitka Kempner. In Stein's study of the Holocaust, she found that while many people were recognized for their courage, less attention was placed on the women who made a difference. With her art, she provokes questions and dialogue about power and vulnerability through a lens of gender. https://www.haveartwilltravel.org/events/holocaust-heroes

- Description
- As portrayals of heroic women gain ground in film, television, and other media, their depictions are breaking free of females as versions of male heroes or simple stereotypes of acutely weak or overly strong women. Although heroines continue to represent the traditional roles of mothers, goddesses, warriors, whores, witches, and priestesses, these women are no longer just damsels in distress or violent warriors. The representations and interpretations of these heroines are important reflections of popular culture that simultaneously empower and constrain real life women. Chapters about a.o. Harry Potter, Bollywood and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
