Throughout history there have been great women warriors.  Cleopatra, Artemisia I of Caria, Queen Boudicca, Gráinne Mhaol, Zenobia and Nakano Takeo...to name only a few.   Even in  modern day mythology you will find the likes of Wonder Woman, Xena, Elektra and Katniss Everdeen.

The main character of the Children of the Luminaries©™ trilogy presents us with a strong female presence.   She is not only the embodiment of the combined strength and attributes of all these historic brave women (both real and fictional), but a living tribute as well.

Like all heroes, The Oracle does not see herself as anyone's savior.  She only sees what must be done and she does it.  

The Oracle's  journey of self empowerment and acceptance, as chronicled in this trilogy,  reflects the on-going trials and tribulations that both  women and men all over the world experience on some level, in some way.  And it is because, and in spite of, all her doubts and fears  The Oracle is a representation of  all people, women & men alike,  from all walks of life.
