Re: Earliest encounters with feminism in fiction from your childhood?

[personal profile] zserb 2013-05-28 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
There was an author in my country who wrote novelized biographies about famous and influential historical women for girls. The first book I've read by her was about Elizabeth Barrett-Browning. I still adore that book. :)

Actually, there were two main book series for girls in my country: "dotted books" for about ten-year-old kids and above, and "striped books" for fourteen-year-olds and above. All of them female-centric, often with strong and inspirational main characters. Some of them written in my country, some of them translated, often from Soviet, or Soviet-friendly countries.

Jean Webster's Daddy-Long-Legs had been published in the "dotted" series, and I was really touched by Judy's talent and they way she tried to achieve her independence. (I've checked on Wikipedia a few minutes ago, it says the novel is often criticized as an "anti-feminist fairy tale". I'm probably doing something wrong here.)

(Interesting as I can maybe mention a few other books here, but I can't name any TV-Show.)
