| Found in | Work cat.: Barnet, S.M. Stringybark summer, 2004: p. 6 (the lesbian hero) p. 17 ("The traditional structure of the Australian heroic journey is further reworked with the introduction of a lesbian as a main character. Stringybark Summer can be seen to work within the tradition of the lesbian 'coming out' novel and the lesbian novel of awakening. These traditions are the lesbian version of the female heroic journey and use many of the same motifs ... Pip, like other heros in lesbian fiction, knows herself to be different. The hero in the lesbian coming out novel, as in the archetypal quest novel, is often marked with a difference.")
