Girls with Character

Girl with character. Who is that? You know her.

• She’s the kid with lots of spunk and a love of adventure.
• She is an independent thinker with infinite passion, perseverance, and big dreams.
• She could be a pioneer, a trail blazer, or a trend setter.
• She doesn’t hesitate to tackle a problem or right a wrong, while still doing the right thing.

In other words, she is someone whom we think of as a friend. She might even be just. like. us. Do we always like her? No, not always. But she is honest and calls ’em as she sees ’em.

The books on this list feature some of our favorite female characters. Most take the lead role in their book, but some do not. Some stories have happy endings, some do not. Some are fictional characters, others have lived amazing lives. They made this list because they offer unique, strong voices and character.
