A ‘strong female character’

drshebloggo:

DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN

  • a character who is physically strong
  • a character who is mentally strong
  • a character who is emotionally strong

ABSOLUTELY MEANS

  • a character who makes her own choices, even if they’re mistakes
  • a character whose point of view is explored at least briefly
  • a character who is the hero of her own story whether she knows it or not

And that’s just a strong character, really.
