Myths and legends have traditionally been the domain of men and boys. The gallant hero is almost always male. In The Heroic Female Spirit: A Collection of Tales, author, performer, and storyteller Phyllis Peterson shows women and girls at the center of each story--discovering their inner gifts, defying restrictive customs, and creating peace between seemingly implacable foes. In the tradition of Joseph Campbell, her stories employ many of the moral virtues found in every religion. The heroes in each tale strive to reshape and improve the world around them, demonstrating that heroic qualities are not only the domain of young men and boys, but reside within each of us regardless of gender.

The Heroic Female Spirit: A Collection of Tales
I read this book while doing service at Dhamma Dvara, a Vipassana Center in Germany. It is such an inspiring read! I enjoyed every page of it. Fleischman introduces the main principles that are the coordinates for a life full of inner peace. And then chapter by chapter, he describes each principle and presents people who are impersonations of these coordinates. He draws from examples of their day-to-day life, poetry, writings etc.
This book is a must if you seek great inspiration, ideas and examples on how to create for yourself a life full of inner peace. I extracted a long list of other works that i want to read some time soon. Last but not least, Fleischman is a Vipassana meditator. If you are one, too, you may find it interesting to read about his personal experience.
