Aggressively normal heroines (Jo March, Laura Ingalls, Lois Lenski’s characters) inspired me when I was a girl. And despite a touch of irony, they still do. Then there’s the additional pleasure of turning these “role models” upside down. Something nice becomes a little edgy, a little frightening, is used as a symbol of feminist ambitions. Making the subtle put-down your own by subverting it and giving it a new meaning of rebellion and freedom.Nasty women hiding in plain sight—nicely breaking down the system from within—quietly, calmly, consistently, committedly, sincerely—and we are never going away.
