I think we all have wellsprings of courage within us (as well as compassion and kindness and many other things). We can't know until we face the fire.
At a panel (at NASFic, maybe 20 years ago), at a panel on "Women Warriors," a heckler demanded to know if any of we "ladies" had ever been in a "real, life-threatening situation." Without missing a beat, Alis Rasmussen answered, yes, when she'd gone into premature labor with twins.
Needless to say, every women in the room and almost every man (except the heckler) got it.
