Heroine's Journey (With Anne...

Star, Niina Niskanen

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?

Captivating History

Did you know the Battle of Britain was the first major military campaign fought entirely in the air? 
In the summer of 1940, Adolf Hitler and his henchman, Luftwaffe Commander-in-Chief Hermann Göring, began their attempt to clear the skies over England to invade Great Britain. Despite very long odds, the Royal Air Force stood its ground, prevented the German invasion, and helped turn the tide of WWII. 
The valiant stand of the RAF fighter pilots (known today as “The Few” because of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s famous speech) not only saved England from Hitler but also motivated and inspired the people and leadership of the United States, which sent increasing amounts of weapons and supplies to the United Kingdom. 
In Captivating History’s The Battle of Britain, you will learn about the following:The strategy and tactics of air warfare developed between WWI and WWIIHow the Germans secretly created the foundations of its WWII air force, the Luftwaffe, in the Soviet UnionHow young German men learned to fly even though they had no planesHow the British and Germans developed radar at almost the same time and how British radar was much more effective and better runThe women of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force or WAAFsHow British and German fighters stacked up against each otherHow the Germans almost won the battleThe cost born by the British peopleSome of the most famous figures from the battle, such as Winston Churchill, Hermann Göring, Hugh Dowding, and many more
