Abstract:

This work uses an adaptation of monster theory to rethink the foundations of epic-heroic immortality. Rather than focusing on a specific monster or monsters, the author identifies the “belly-monstrous” as a crucial point of intersection between mothers and warriors in traditional narratives of the Trojan War. Identifying the gestating/digesting belly as the center of the Iliadic world, this groundbreaking approach disrupts androcentric readings of the Iliadic warrior and his ethos, emphasizing the crucial role of female suffering in the generation and preservation of immortal legacy.

Abstract:

This chapter examines women in modern aviation, beginning with the comic-book character Wonder Woman, who embodies themes of war, nationalism, and heroism. These themes continue to be examined through the lives of American aviator Amelia Earhart, women pilots in World War II (especially the German aviator Hanna Reitsch), and women who have taken part in NASA’s space programs. The relatively recent battles over whether and when to allow women to fly airplanes and space shuttles encourage speculation on how much or how little things have changed for women who long to fly.

Abstract:

This book offers 25 profiles of some of the most popular female action heroes throughout the history of film, television, comic books, and video games. Female action heroes, like other fictional characters, not only reveal a lot about society, but greatly influence individuals in society. It is no surprise that the gradual development and increase in the number of female action heroes coincides with societal changes and social movements, such as feminism. Nor is it a surprise that characteristics of female action heroes echo the progressive toughening of women and young girls in the media. Fem

Abstract:

The famous statue of Nike of Samothrace is introduced as an illustrative example of the image of the winged female—a figure that is found as far back as the Paleolithic era, and as recently as the twentieth century, across the world’s geographical, religious, and cultural regions. Examples from these varied sources will be discussed in depth throughout the book. The motif of the flying female or winged woman, and the tales told about them, embody themes including heroism and womanhood; the conflict between freedom and domesticity; understandings of transcendence versus immanence; and ancient f

Abstract:

Saints: A Very Short Introduction looks at the origins, ideas, and definitions of sainthood, sanctity, and saints in the early Church, tracing their development in history and explaining the social roles saints played in the ancient, medieval, and modern worlds. It considers the treatment of saints as objects of literary and artistic expression and interpretation, and as examples of idealised male and female heroism, comparing Christian saints and holy figures to venerated figures in other religious cultures, including Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. It concludes by considering the experiences
