What's on your summer reading list? Check out
Melissa Silverstein's evaluation of Lisbeth Salander, the heroine of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series.
"When I put out a call on
Twitter and Facebook asking people to comment on Lisbeth, the quotes
started flowing in fast. Here is some of the love: "The perfect shero
for our time" (Rachelle Pachtman). "I felt that she was speaking for me
in a way..." (Joanne Bamberger). "She doesn't take sh*t. She doesn't fit
in….she's my shero" (Nancy Schwartzman). What is so fascinating
is that a man imagined this heroine."
Is she "The Girl Who Started a Feminist Franchise" or not? What do you
think? This series is next on my summer reading list - what's on yours?
