  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?

  In the cold village of River Banks, a beautiful girl Meredith, lost her eyesight to the tragedy of war. Her mother clung to a glimmer of hope, of an old folklore that travelled in whispers around the town of a witch who crafted wooden masks, bound with magic so powerful that whoever wore them would see the world in a different light. The tale promised that anyone who was blind would see again, but the stories all warned of a terrible cost and ended with the same eerie words: A mask may be taken but a life must be given.
