''She'' was Haggard's second big success after ''Literature/KingSolomonsMines'', and was followed by a sequel and two prequels, one the story of Ayesha's early life and the other an InevitableCrossover in which the protagonist of ''King Solomon's Mines'' visits the hidden valley. It has been filmed multiple times, including [[{{Film/She1935}} a 1935 movie]] starring Helen Gahagan as Ayesha, a [[{{Film/She1965}} a 1965 Hammer Film Productions movie]] starring Ursula Andress as Ayesha, Creator/PeterCushing as Holly, and Creator/ChristopherLee as Billali (one of the tribesmen who worship She); and a 1984 movie starring Creator/SandahlBergman. The 1965 movie also spawned a sequel in 1968, ''The Vengeance of She'', which was based on the novel's sequel.

An Immortality Field is a certain are where you're invincible while you're in that area.


* ImmortalityField: Zigzagged. A mountain cave in DarkestAfrica hides the fire of Life. Step into the fire and not only do you become perpetually immortal, but even the imperfections and frailties of your human body are erased; this is how Ayesha became [[CharmPerson supernaturally charismatic]] and the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman. Step into it a ''second'' time and you will die, ageing rapidly in a matter of seconds and collapsing into a pile of dust. Hence, the fire is a place you go to once, but never again. Apparently, Life does not appreciate greedy people.
