Courage in the face of grave danger (7)

I believe the answer is:

heroism

(Other definitions for heroism that I've seen before include "Courageous quality" , "brave action" , "Outstanding courage" , "Gallantry" , "Very brave conduct or act of valour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
