And a somewhat similar statement may be made about his feminine counterpart--for all the types of Fairy-land life are of an epicene nature, admitting of a feminine as well as a masculine development--the heroine who in the Skazkas, as well as in other folk-tales, braves the wrath of female demons in quest of means whereby to lighten the darkness of her home, or rescues her bewitched brothers from the thraldom of an enchantress, or liberates her captive husband from a dungeon's gloom.

Who acts: types, heroine, admitting · What happens: make, be, admit, brave, mean, lighten · To what, where: similar statement, wrath, Skazkas, darkness, bewitched brothers, thraldom · Speech: someone speaks here
