Yesterday was International Women’s Day. March is also Read a Book Month. In honor of both those occasions I’ve compiled a small (and thus incomplete) list of awesome women and girls in fiction. Who did I miss?
In no particular order:
1- Hermione Granger – Harry Potter
2- Katniss Everdeen – The Hunger Games
3- Lyra Belacqua – The Golden Compass
4- Jo March – Little Women
5- Mary Lennox – The Secret Garden
6 – Offred – The Handmaid’s Tale
7- Eowyn – The Lord of the Rings
8- Scout – To Kill a Mockingbird
9- Matilda – Matilda
10- Laura Ingalls – Little House on the Prairie
A special #11 addition of Arya Stark – Game of Thrones, because I’m super embarrassed I forgot her in the first place. She’s amazing.
