Partly because they're so often down-trodden. If there were a way to remove Lifetime from my cable box, I'd do it in a heartbeat. <BR/><BR/>But also because there are so many cliches that they just don't feel real. They're headstrong. They're beautiful. So beautiful in fact that they don't know how beautiful they are. They're always smarter than the men in the story but they're not taken seriously. I have to stop - I'm annoying myself.<BR/><BR/>Scarlett O'Hara was my last real heroine. She's more fleshed out in the book but Vivian Leigh was still kickass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-1167759155309050852007-01-02T11:32:00.000-06:002007-01-02T11:32:00.000-06:00Hello, Beque!

I have several writer friends who love Lymond, and I can certainly see him in their heroes.cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-1167758612600707142007-01-02T11:23:00.000-06:002007-01-02T11:23:00.000-06:00Lymond is first on my fictional sex list too.I use...Lymond is first on my fictional sex list too.<BR/><BR/>I used to read a lot of science fiction, and was struck by how few male authors could create what I (as a female reader) considered a truly realistic female character with an authentically feminine voice; David Brin could do it, but I hardly ran across anyone else who could. Even authors like Heinlein who were somewhat renowned for their strong female characters tended to fall into goddess/whore stereotypes, I thought.<BR/><BR/>Hi! I'm a librarian in Lafayette, and a friend just recommended your St. Cyr mysteries; I liked the first one a lot, and the second is on its way to me....Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860761207313126963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-1167750682182715172007-01-02T09:11:00.000-06:002007-01-02T09:11:00.000-06:00Your comment about women having traditionally play...Your comment about women having traditionally played supporting roles in society and fiction is a very important clue, I think. It may also involve men feeling more comfortable writing about male characters than female. One thing I notice about my lists is that all the characters are larger than life, and the best remembered ones have exotic sounding names. (Kelly was the black haired Angel by the way, played by Jacqueline Smith, and I've always been attracted to long dark hair.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
