How to use heroine in a sentence?

1. Simone Weil:

   To be a hero or a heroine, one must give an order to oneself.

2. Jane Austen:

   But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way.

3. Ray Douglas Bradbury:

   Find out what your hero or heroine wants, and when he or she wakes up in the morning, just follow him or her all day.

4. Orrin Konheim:

   DuVernay, who is African-American, told Entertainment Weekly. I was interested in … a heroine that looked like the girls I grew up with. DuVernay said she identified with some progressive ideas she found in L'Engle's novel. She's a very radical thinker and she embedded her sense of what society should and could be in this piece, and a lot of it I agree with. But does that mean her adaptation will adopt a political tone ? Experts say we shouldn't jump to any conclusions about whatDuVernay’s final film will look like. Freelance journalist Orrin Konheim, who has written for The American Conservative, noted that many films, including The Manchurian Candidate, have been remade with African-American stars. Ava DuVernay’s casting choice seems like a non-issue.

5. Gino Vezzini:

   This was one of the best Fidelios I have ever seen, kampe lived the role, whether she sang or recited, she was a true heroine.
