In advance before April's blog series on women's epics, I am curious if there are any that people know, or want to know about. :)
Do you know any epics about women? Name them in comments and I'll tell you if they will be included!
(And by "epic" I also mean sagas, shamanic songs, monogatari, and chivalric romances.)
@TarkabarkaHolgy
Theodor Fontane: Effi Briest
@Irisfreundin Seems like that one is a novel
@TarkabarkaHolgy Isn't a novel an epic too?
In German "episch" means that it is not in rhymes.
@Irisfreundin then it's a translation issue :) Here I am talking specifically about traditional epics (think Gilgamesh, Odyssey, Mahabharata, that kind of stuff).
@TarkabarkaHolgy In German that's "Dichtung" (poetry).
