I’m grappling with writing a “strong female character”. Is grappling the right word I’m looking for? Maybe I’m hunting/wrestling/seducing/pleading/yelling/negotiating for that strong female character. This article seems to hit me directly between the eyes with the idea – the fantasy – of the strong female character. Maybe its not a strong female character that I’m writing…
I just saw the movie, Chocolat, again and was delighted all over again to see so many complex, strong female characters portrayed.
