La mitóloga y folclorista de renombre mundial Maria Tatar nos revela una asombrosa pero largamente enterrada historia de heroínas, que nos lleva desde Casandra y Scheherezade hasta Nancy Drew y la Mujer Maravilla.
Durante décadas, la célebre obra de Joseph Campbell El héroe de las mil caras, con su énfasis en el viaje que conduce a la gloria y a la inmortalidad, ha alimentado nuestra imaginación y ha dado forma a nuestra cultura. En este profundo y sincero libro, Maria Tatar desafía el culto a los héroes guerreros y a los líderes espirituales en clave masculina, revelando otra historia secreta: la de aquellas heroínas que muestran inteligencia, valor, empatía, curiosidad y cuidado en su búsqueda de la justicia. Tatar pone de manifiesto cómo las heroínas, desde Scheherezade hasta la Mujer Maravilla, han pasado desapercibidas a pesar de haber demostrado un coraje enorme en su denuncia de la injusticia. Por momentos deslumbrante y escalofriante, La heroína de las 1001 caras crea un arco luminoso que nos lleva desde la antigüedad hasta el presente, explicando nuestro tiempo como ninguna otra obra de historia cultural. Una brillante reflexión sobre la evolución de los valores escondidos en las historias que contamos, escribimos y reinventamos, que nos invita a un viaje hacia la autocomprensión y el empoderamiento.
The Heroine with 1,001 Faces dismantles the cult of warrior heroes, revealing a secret history of heroinism at the very heart of our collective cultural imagination. Maria Tatar, a leading authority on fairy tales and folklore, explores how heroines, rarely wielding a sword and often deprived of a pen, have flown beneath the radar even as they have been bent on redemptive missions. Deploying domestic crafts and using words as weapons, they have found ways to survive assaults and rescue others from harm, all while repairing the fraying edges in the fabric of their social worlds. Like the tongueless Philomela, who spins the tale of her rape into a tapestry, or Arachne, who portrays the misdeeds of the gods, they have discovered instruments for securing fairness in the storytelling circles where so-called women’s work-spinning, mending and weaving-is carried out.In a broad-ranging volume that moves with ease from the local to the global, Tatar demonstrates how our new heroines wear their curiosity as a badge of honor rather than a mark of shame and how their “mischief making” evidences compassion and concern.The Heroine with 1,001 Faces creates a luminous arc that takes us from ancient times to the present day. It casts an unusually wide net, expanding the canon and thinking capaciously in global terms, breaking down the boundaries of genre and displaying a sovereign command of cultural context. This, then, is a historic volume that informs our present and its newfound investment in empathy and social justice like no other work of recent cultural history.
