Epics About Women
Traditional epics from around the world that feature women heroes. By traditional epic I mean stories that were passed down in the oral tradition, or have been part of a culture's heritage through the ages. And by "women heroes" I mean protagonists who are women, whether they act heroically or not. (Same as epics about men, honesty). I have a whole blog series about these stories if anyone would like to know more.

I read the tales of princess Fatima this summer and it was so good! (I’m thinking abt trying to turn it into a graphic novel) I’m bookmarking this list so I can read the rest of these :)
I loved Fatima! I was sad it is not a complete translation, I would have loved to read more of the adventures.
I just read your blog post about it, and same!
Oooh I would love to see your blog post 👀
Here is a list of all the posts I made, with summaries: https://multicoloreddiary.blogspot.com/p/womens-epics-to-z.html
