Heather Höpfl, a Professor of Management, takes a quite different, and I believe more coherent and enabling view of women's heroism than Perron and her colleagues. She argues that: "The heroines of history are not impotent women. Quite the contrary, they are women who refuse to be put in their place. The stories of heroines offer a picture of women who were far from meek and far from conciliated into male reality definitions. They were real women not mythological constructions. They shared values rather than common backgrounds and they are, to use an unfashionable term 'indomitable'. (...) The stories of the heroines of 50 years ago and more are stories of recusancy. They are stories of opposition. They are in almost every case stories of gender politics. We are deceived when we are told they are stories of female oppression. (...) These women faced enormous obstacles but squared themselves off against them and responded with integrity and courage." [20] Of other 'quiet' and 'unrecorded' heroisms
