Answer 1

When did I read the 'Female Hero's Journey'? Was it the stories with Atlanta(?) and Lo? I have a REALLY bad memory.

If this is talking about those stories (The stories with Atlanta(?) and Lo) then I might answer this correctly. The stories about the women had a tiny trend (I think, I don't really remember) of the girls getting kicked out (Exiled or something) or Something that caused them to leave and go away from their homes. While the 'Hero's Journey' (The one with guys) was about this boy who left their hometown to go on this huge mission, and once finished return home (Maybe).

I'm sorry if this is wrong, but I really don't remember... ^_^;

I hope it helps

Answer 2

In the "Female Hero's Journey," there was a trend that was not shown in the more traditional "Hero's Journey." Lo and Atlanta both were either exiled from home or something happened that caused them to go on their journeys. The men, however voluntarily left for a quest. The female heroes also went through more mental-based challenges, whereas the males had to do more physical tasks. In the end, the men were welcomed home where they were seen as brave heroes, but the females did not.
