Hudson's book not only sufficiently maps out the Heroine's Journey (aka the Virgin's Promise), it includes both the psychological underpinning of Jung's archetype theory as well as a comparison to the Hero's Journey, making it a complete guide. She uses plenty of film examples, and includes a section on story structure as well. But the title is awkward (I prefer The Heroine's Journey) and some of the beat titles lack the clarity of the Hero's Journey beat names. A recommended resource guide for writers.
