I wrap up my thoughts on female characters by tearing apart Jordan Peterson's conceptualization of the archetypal "male" and "female" heroes, and present my own theory on the archetypal hero.

Kate Elliot and I talk about the common misunderstandings people have about the roles real women played in history, and how this impacts the way fantasy gets written. When women are given complex, powerful roles in historically-inspired stories, is that wish fulfillment and political correctness? Or is it just... realistic?

To go more deeply into this topic, I highly recommend the following essay by Kate Elliot:
"Writing Women Characters Into Epic Fantasy Without Quotas."
