Top Ten Tuesday; Ten Characters Who Would Make Great Leaders of the Feminist Movement

It's Tuesday again, which means it's time for another top ten Tuesday post, thanks to The Broke and the Bookish. The theme of the week was ten characters who would make great leaders and I decided to narrow it down to leaders of the feminist movement.

My picks are these;
Pippi Longstocking from the books by Astrid Lindgren

Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling

Weetzie Bat from the Weetzie Bat series by Francesca Lia Block

Badra from The Almond by Nedjma

Ronja from Ronja, The Robber's Daughter by Astrid Lindgren

Kitty and Nancy from Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters

Karou from The Daughter of Smoke and Bone-trilogy by Laini Taylor

Aaliya from An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine

Lucy Westenra from Dracula by Bram Stoker

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible.
