In Atalanta Heroina: A Latin Novella, Atalanta is a capable heroine, but she faces people who dismiss her because of her gender from the moment of her birth. Her father decides to expose her because she was born a girl rather than a boy. His decision to expose her because he considers her unequal sets her on her path of becoming the famed heroine that she was.
From that moment, the goddess Diana raises Atalanta in the woods in a bear form until Atalanta is taken in by some hunters who further raise her. She encounters centaur who mean to harm her, and she joins Jason and the Argonauts as they sail the Mediterranean. She is fierce and independent. When her father comes to reclaim her, she struggles with how to respond as she feels the eyes of other women and girls on her. Will she ever be considered an equal?
