Heroine Journeys

The Heroine Journeys Project is a dedicated research project focused on collecting and analyzing literature, film, and life experiences of women and marginalized groups. Their goal is to explore and document life-affirming alternatives to the traditional "Hero's Journey" narrative arc, as famously articulated by Joseph Campbell. The project team has extensively studied hundreds of works of literature, myth, and film, and has developed lecture presentations and interactive workshops for writers, artists, students, and professionals interested in using heroine and healing arcs in their work.

The team aims to promote discussion on hero, heroine, and healing narrative arcs, and provide readers with an opportunity to share their heroine journey stories with the research team and other readers. The team members include individuals with diverse backgrounds and expertise, all of whom are committed to representing a variety of identities and experiences in different narrative structures. The Heroine Journeys Project is a valuable resource for those looking to understand and give voice to personal experiences that do not fit within the traditional "Hero's Journey" narrative arc
