Yes! Thank you for pointing this out. Strength isn't about might!
Oh I plan on reading the Winner's curse soon, Oh that's exactly the route and theme I am trying to encompass. Strength in different aspects , not necessarily physical strength but mental strength. Wow you certainly grasped my initial concept and explained it better than I could have hoped for!!! I'll definitely read the books you recommended as soon as possible. I just want to as you mentioned, showcase different forms of strengths that aren't given the attention or significance that they deserve. Thank you Roshani <3 you're amazing!!!!! Love you loads. xoxo
Thank you for saying this, Roshani. I agree completely. How is strength defined? The quality that allows someone to deal with problems in a determined and effective way.
I would love to read about more YA heroines that are strong in mercy, grace, wisdom, patience, and self-worth.
Agreed! A strong heroine doesn't have to have physical strength! And yet, most people would define a "strong heroine" as a girl who has physical strength (Katniss, Adelina, Tris, Celaena Sardothien, etc.) I agree with Raneem and Luke--I would love to read about YA heroines with mental strength. Well said, Rosh!:)
