Sheri S. Tepper And Feminism's Future, Beverly Price

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Defines the “patriarchal feminist heroine” as an almost superhuman individual who exists within a patriarchal society without changing it. Sees a shift in Tepper’s work from such individuals to a focus on groups and whole societies, which are more effective at causing social change.
