Room 1
As the first requirement for being a heroine is solitude, chapter one in the exhibition presents women alone, starting with modern images of heroines of Antiquity like Penelope and Iphigenia. In their apparently passive attitudes of waiting and homesickness lie the seeds of independence and even resistance. Modern heroines of solitude, on the other hand, are no longer identified with Penelope but with Ulysses: they do not wait around for the absent hero, they become travellers like him.
