The groundbreaking scientific accomplishments of these four women, and all the women who contributed to the success of NASA [have] remained in the dark far too long. These pioneers remain a beacon for Black women across the country, both young and old. -Kamala Harris, Refinery29. More:
Tomoe handled unbroken horses with superb skill; she rode unscathed down perilous descents. Whenever a battle was imminent, Yoshinaka sent her out as his first captain, equipped with strong armor, an oversized sword, and a mighty bow; and she performed more deeds of valor than any of his other warriors. – Ryan General, Nextshark.

Tolkien had been through a place darker than Mordor by the end of World War I: “Junior officers were being killed off” at the rate of “a dozen a minute,” he once wrote. To leave his wife, Edith, for the war “was like a death.”- Jennifer Finney Boylan, NYTimes. More:
The pleasure of the film is the old-fashioned exotic-seeming sensibility of the setting, harking back to classic old adventures like Gunga Din, but with the acerbic undercutting of white colonial arrogance. – Cinephilia & Beyond. More:
The Lady seeks out a Mentor. She finds a wizard who knows quite a bit about dragon-slaying. But he insists that he has his own dragons to slay. He’s pretty surprised she even has The Call to Adventure and suspects it might be some type of Diversity Thing.-Kathleen O’Mara, McSweeney’s. More:
War veterans are finding that ancient epics give them the language to cope. Homer-for-veterans is the brainchild of Dartmouth College classics professor Roberta Stewart. Toxic combat experiences narrated in Homer’s Iliad (800 B.C.E.) appear similar to those reported by current military veterans with severe, chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). More:
It’s hard to believe now, but women learning the classics was a genuine threat to male power. Against this long background of misogyny and fear, it is surprising, but not astonishing, that the first English translation of the Odyssey by a woman has only now come out. – Annalisa Quinn, NPR. More:
We are raised on a Hollywood diet that argues that the grim, determined, anti-authority male hero or anti-hero who neglects his family and/or is terrible to the few women in his life is a strong/complex male character. Hollywood prioritizes male-centric hero’s-journey action fantasies, war movies, mob dramas and angsty-white-guy morality tales as a matter of course. – Scott Mendelson, Forbes. More:
Russian Rapper, Oxxxymiron, dedicated an entire verse to Joseph Campbell’s comparative mythology study The Hero with a Thousand Faces. The book sold out immediately on Ozon, one of Russia’s biggest online stores. – Sasha Raspopina, The Calvert Journal. More:
I love this idea that you’ve got a sword in one hand and a baby on your hip. You had to keep up with the men because there’s no room on a ship for ornaments—but we only know about the ones they caught. There may have been scores of pirate women who lived and died that we just don’t know about. — Laura Sook Duncombe with Lorraine Boissoneault, Smithsonian. (Thanks to Lulu Jemimah) Read more:
