A few days ago, a local newspaper interviewed me (and several other writers) about "enduring heroines," meaning those heroines from novels who stay with us for a long, long time (you can read the story here ; it came out in today's paper; don't ask me where they got that awful pic of me). The ones we remember long after we close the book, because they have impacted us in some way or another. The second half of the question was why, and what lesson these classic heroines can impart to today's readers and young women.
