Action Heroine Blog-a-Thon.

Action indeed. Nearly 40 blogs so far are participating in the Action Heroine Blog-a-Thon hosted by Nathaniel R at Film Experience.

"When the subject of classic action heroines comes up, you'd be safe to assume that most people conjure up instant memories of Wonder Woman, Lt Ellen Ripley (the Alien franchise) and Buffy the Vampire Slayer before their minds wander to less famed and obsessed over examples of women who muscled their way through cinematic or literary adventures," he writes, leading straight into a thesis that comes at you from where you'd least expect it. "I think the vanishing point you need to look at for true action heroine perspective is Peter Pan."
