A long time ago… (in 1985) a famous Hollywood memo outlined the 12 Steps of the Hero’s Journey. It simplified ideas about MONOMYTH, which inspired Star Wars and countless other creative works. But what about the female protagonist? How is her journey the same? How is it different? Writers, directors, producers and actors, as well as fans of today’s hugely popular Action Heroines need to know. The Action Heroine’s Journey tackles these questions head on. Equal parts humorous and informative, this book warps and distills his monomyth to fit Her Story. Satine Phoenix: is a university trained artist and writer who lives Los Angeles. RK Syrus: uh… well, you’ll see. "As a storyteller, this is an important eye-opening exploration into the unique voice of the woman’s journey." - Megan Hutchison
