People: "I don't read old stories to my daughters because they are outdated and sexist and women are all passive princesses waiting to be saved."
Me: I set out to read 26 traditional epics about woman heroes, and so far I have found 32.

There's a book I've got about the European sailor ballad tradition where women cross-dressed to save the day. Extremely popular vernacular plotline in the, what, 1700s
