Mary Sue Terry: The Hero Who Defied The Double Bind, Thomas J. Villani
Mary Sue Terry: The Hero Who Defied The Double Bind, Thomas J. Villani
Scott T. Allison
This chapter focuses on Mary Sue Terry’s heroism. Specifically, the goal of this chapter is to
demonstrate how Terry’s life followed Joseph Campbell’s classic monomyth
of the hero, how she underwent important personal transformations, how
she transformed others in meaningful ways, what type of hero she was, and
what heroic traits she displayed. From this analysis, the unmistakable conclusion
that one can reach is that Mary Sue Terry is one of the most inspiring
Richmond heroes in the city’s history.
