Personnal comments : this story is a beautiful story about women or girls being strong, brave, facing their fears and overcoming them. They seem fragile at first but are the bravest ones who face the danger. I love these kind of stories. The tunnel makes me think about an Anderson's tale : the Ice Queen. This last tale has a similar story.
