Summary

What an amazing episode! My guest Star is here to talk to us about the "heroine's journey". The heroine's journey came about in 1990 when Maureen Murdock, a psychologist published a book called The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness.

My guest Star is here to talk to us about Heroine's Journey and we are discussing the heroine's journey in Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables and Jo's heroine's journey in Little Women. I was told that Gilbert's proposal to Anne in the 80s AOGG is almost exactly the same as Laurie's proposal to Jo in 1933 Little Women. Of course, I had to check if this was true and I have recorded these two proposals and mine and Star's reactions. It is an interesting detail and I think it might be one of the reasons why so many people somehow link Anne and Gil and Jo and Laurie together. Oh Hollywood what do you do to us.
