Really surprised that of all the possibilities for considering  "the heroes journey and its differences when taken by a woman"... That's skipped and its Girrard's theory that is the template for analysis. This is a 49pg read on Girard's theory in what is considered to be a primo summary by someone who "gets it and the nuances". https://waynenorthey.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Issue-13.pdf  And admit I always thought Girard was speaking to those in the just-war and the just-execution debates. mmm, out of my paygrade -- insert smiley face.

I've been waiting to hear Sr. Rose take on Wonder Woman... Sorry, but even the director -Patty Jenkins -- said that when the hero's journey is taken by a woman -- it is what she brings to others. For a man it is what he brings "back" to his community.... 

Wonder Woman asks the question is Humanity with all its flaws still worth saving, still worth loving.  "do or don't do... there is no try" yoda
