Who is an example of an ordinary woman and extraordinary heroine?
I don't have an answer... Though as a fiction author who writes heroic fantasy for girls, I definitely have an opinion!

Christine Bartsch said… Hi Beth! We missed you at the chat today! So sorry I didn't see your post earlier. For some reason I'm no longer getting the e-mail where I can click a link to go right to the chat. Instead you just have to log onto SheWrites at 5pm EST (I think?) and click the little box on the bottom right corner of the screen to pop open the chat. For me it always opens the YA chat - I think that's because what's scheduled in the chat for that time?
LOL - I wish these chats were easier to find!
Hope to see you at the next one!
