About this episode

In this clip from The Female Stoic Podcast , we look at Stoic resilience and its value in every day life. We will be inspired by the work of L M Montgomery and Eleanor H Porter, and learn valuable lessons from the Stoic Philosophers Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. In Anne Of Green Gables and Pollyanna, we see two young protagonists who face innumerable challenges. These stories represent the challenges faced by female authors of the Victorian and Edwardian era.Through these works, we come to see how the stoic practise of resilience helps them grow, and emerge as very capable young women.
