Managed to lock myself out for and a half. In sandals, and no armwarmers or collar or even my pendants. So i want for a ride, considered a movie, decided a against sa I couldn't let my bike outof my sight. Went and bought me some 2nd-hand books. So before I go and take me my 4-hour nap, I have a question for you all:

What was the last book you read with a prominent female character you could actully stand and even identify with? Elaborate, please.

Good pika night. ^_^

I don't know about identifying with her, but I really like the main character of Dancer of the Sixth by Michelle Shirey Crean. She's a strong, kick-ass woman who falls in love without losing her own identity. Plus, she's a pilot.

The main character of Robin McKinley's Deerskin is fascinating, and she finds her way back to well after her father rapes her.

Another favorite female character is the heroine of Connie Willis' Bellwether. She's a scientist studying chaos theory, and she also manages to fall in love without losing herself.

I don't know that I've really identified with a fictional character since before I graduated high school. The only writing I've really identified with since then is Nomy Lamm's "It's a big fat revolution."
