Those Tough Lit Chicks
I can’t resist those tough chicks of our favorite classic lit reads.
What are the qualifications for a tough chick of lit? Well, how about capable, quick of wit, common sense, a set of skills, determination, fudging the lines of feminine acceptability for the time period, and not necessarily physically a beauty contestant in looks but going for lots of personality?
Here is a grocery list of chicks of lit likables: (all images from GoodReads)
Scout Finch
Jo March
Laura Ingalls
Jane Eyre
Elizabeth Bennett
Janie Crawford
Shakespeare’s Beatrice and Kate
Lucy Honeychurch
Thursday Next
Katniss Everdeen
Mick Kelly
Francie Nolan
That’s just a start. I’m working on round two. Any nominations? Who is on your list for literature’s tough chicks?
