From early obsessions with the March sisters to her later idolization of Sylvia Plath, Ellis evaluates how her heroines stack up today. And, just as she excavates the stories of her favorite characters, Ellis also shares a frank, often humorous account of her own life growing up in a tight-knit Iraqi Jewish community in London. Here a life-long reader explores how heroines shape all our lives.","brand":"Random House USA Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49528790155607,"sku":"9781101872093","price":13.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781101872093.jpg?v=1731873014","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/how-to-be-a-heroine-9781101872093","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
