Here are some of the
heroines that I have fallen in love with over time. They’re smart, resourceful,
determined and in the end, they win their freedom, their independence and the
hero!
Aislinn,
THE WOLF AND THE DOVE
by
Kathleen Woodiwiss
A prisoner in her own home,
she stubbornly refuses to submit to her conqueror and instead conquers him and
wins his heart.
Scarlett,
GONE WITH THE WIND
by
Margaret Mitchell
Can we say, Bitch?! She’s
selfish, self-absorbed but she is strong and loyal to Tara, to her Ashley and
sometimes to Rhett.
Ginny,
SWEET SAVAGE LOVE by Rosemary Rogers
A sweet virgin who grows
up fast and learned to go after what she wanted, even if it was that western
rogue who stole her virginity.
Elizabeth
Bennet, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen
She won our hearts with
her spunk and her realistic view of the marriage mart. And, we loved her
loyalty to her family and her going toe to toe with the hunky Mr. Darcy.
Zombies notwithstanding!
Ms.
Celie, THE COLOR PURPLE by Alice Walker
She was raped by her
stepfather, her children stolen, and sold into marriage with an abusive
husband, but Celie is a survivor. She struggled, she kept her faith, she
survived and in the end, she triumphed.
Lady
Ana Cubillas, CONQUISTADORA by Esmeralda Santiago
A pampered Lady of the
Spanish Court, she convinces her husband to travel to Puerto Rico to take over
the family plantation. There she thrives as she embraces the land, the people
and her true destiny.
Lt.
Eve Dallas, IN DEATH series by J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts)
A no-nonsense futuristic
police woman who has seen the horrors of what one person can do to another, but
she stands for the dead and is not ashamed to admit that sometimes she needs a
shoulder to lean on, especially her sexy billionaire husband’s.♥
Maria
Ferrer enjoys reading about strong women who are loyal and smart and can be
true bitches when the need arises. Thank Goodness there are plenty of these
heroines to read about and to write about.
She hopes readers will say the same about the heroines in her stories.
