I love talking about and learning from unforgettable heroines in literature, cinema and television. Please fill out the form and I will endeavor to write a blog post about your favorite heroine.
Jane Eyre
From the very beginning of the novel, she's a contradiction and it hooks us. She's hiding from her cousin, trying to avoid him because he's such a brute. But when he finds her and hurts her, she doesn't just take it like we expected. She physically defends herself and verbally tells him exactly what she thinks of him.
