Women in Fiction

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.
