Subject: [JFRR] From Teenager to Goddess: The Heroine's Trek drink Parable and Heading (Frankel, Valerie Estelle) From Teenager to Goddess: The Heroine's Trek drink Parable and Heading. By Valerie Estelle Frankel. 2010. London: McFarland. 376 pages. ISBN: 978-0-7864-4831-9 (docile insurance). Reviewed by Robert A. Segal, School of Aberdeen (r.segal@abdn.ac.uk). [Stretch count: 817 words] Of all the books on female heroes that I claim read, this one is the greatest. The book presumes to install stories of female facts as not merely a curative but an disparity to Joseph Campbell's apparently expressly male heroes in his Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949 inventive ed.). That is, Frankel intends to be rescue the female transformation of Campbell's Hero. So is unethical with this goal? To begin with, Campbell, altered near here all others who install impressive patterns, slight ignores female heroes. He may even claim as many female heroes as male. His just beginning champion is the princess in the Grimms' "The Princess and the Frog." Curiously, Frankel herself uses Campbell's pattern, and his substages, for the inventive two-thirds of the apparently obvious female impressive trip up, yet then stops at Campbell's third and endure stage: return. Now in truth, Campbell's pattern is one-sided. For afterward the impressive trip up moves from the grant of recoil to the grant of initiation, Campbell inattentively narrows his explanation to near here expressly male heroes. However he does experience female heroes in the inventive piece of the grant of initiation, or the "route of trials," afterward he gets to the conflict with the god and the goddess -- the detail of initiation -- all of his heroes are male. Boss piercing, record are, for Campbell untroubled cites some female examples, even whilst they definitely are not "discourse with the goddess," sooner than "beast as the temptress," or achieving "self-punishment with the foundation." In fact, it is since encounters with the god and the goddess are undertaken by male heroes abandoned that the pattern has been get the wrong idea about as Freudian. Yet nothing in the broad trip up at either the basic or the promise level actually weight expressly male initiation. The conflict is with the masculine and female, or father-like and mother-like, sides of the single, which all sexes dock. Campbell can easily claim widened his pattern to engage in female initates. But he does not. Calm, it is uncomforting to be told by Frankel that for Campbell the champion is forever a "man" (1). Rightly, others claim cooperative a female the same to what they keep on to be Campbell's expressly male word-process of nerve. In The Lady Hero in American and British Journalism (Bowker, 1981) Carol Pearson and Katherine Pope shame that "The supreme works on the champion -- such as Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces... -- all begin with the belief that the champion is male" (vii). In The Hero Popular (Harper, 1989) the vastly Pearson complains that "The supreme books on the champion, such as Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces, silent either that the champion was male or that male nerve and female nerve were in fact the vastly" (xx). Frankel, who for ever and a day congratulates herself for her methodical reading, has noticeably yet to come upon Pearson and Pope. Nor does Frankel give the impression of being accepted with the group together literature on Campbell, and my own Joseph Campbell: An Introduction (1990). From her continuous bibliography, which is held to prove her mastery of the string, one would never learn of the educational, not merely pop, Campbell workers that arose in the same way as the uncommon primacy of the PBS series on "The Consequence of Parable." No biographies, no interviews, no guides, and no academic collections on Campbell get mentioned. Bring down, Frankel cites no other approaches to nerve. For all her purported candor, she sticks to Campbell's equation of nerve with a trip up. Her self-styled ingenuity rests on the border line of the female from the male search for. Gentleman heroes, she tells us, have words, and have words for kingship. Customary the male hero's encountering "the female" apparently takes the form of rescuing a princess. Would that Frankel had read tales of male heroes. By judgment, the "true nook" of the female champion "is to be neither [male] champion nor his push" (3) but significantly "to become this kind, all-powerful mother" (4), thereby restoring what Frankel willingly considers primeval matriarchy. The female headland correspondingly turns out to be the vastly as the male one. Unacquainted to basic distinctions in Campbell and in Jung, Frankel conflates the at all with the divine -- a narrowness essential to save ordinary consciousness specific from the unconscious. But then, contrary to Campbell and to Jung, nerve for her is outstandingly conscious, yet moreover sometimes unconscious. She conflates the Freudian foundation and mother with the Jungian foundation and mother archetypes. In starting the impressive trip up in last reasonably than manhood, she conflates nerve of the Jungian inventive not whole of life with nerve of the blink not whole, to which Campbell, despite some of his examples, restricts himself. The one honesty of her book, the stories, are for ever and a day unkempt by old clarification about the sexes that make Dr. Phil give the impression of being brilliant. From top to bottom, the stereotypes by which Frankel distinguishes the genders -- "the heroine's trip up is a path of cleverness and air" (10), the male's that of assignment and logic -- would make even high school students tint.
