To ask for your favourite literary heroines?

[OrangePowered]

I've just finished a book and I'm looking for inspiration.

My all time favourite is Scarlett O'Hara from Gone with the Wind. I love Rebecca (from Rebecca) too, and Cathy Earnshaw from Wuthering Heights.

Amber from Forever Amber is a recent discovery too. Any recommendations for what to read next?

Perdita!

Can't believe I forgot Mrs Waterbury from The Railway Children!

Mary Lamington.
Jill Pole (especially in The Last Battle).
Orual (Till We Have Faces).
Mma Precious Ramotswe.
Eowyn.
Katniss (also Prim, possibly more than Katniss).
Laura Ingalls Wilder (though does she count, as she's a real person?)
Nancy Blackett. Titty Walker.
Harriet Vane.
Fanny Price.
