When I started working on this post the list was way too long and it took a while to narrow it down but here is a list of some of the fictional women I have read about and admire.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Evie O\u2019Neill from The Diviners by Libba Bray<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Diviners.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1172\" srcset=\"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Diviners.jpg 400w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Diviners-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Diviners-100x150.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption> <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/books\/the-diviners-9780316126106\/9780316126106\">The Diviners (bookshop.org)<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>High-spirited and headstrong Evie O\u2019Neill is banished to New York City from a small town in Ohio where she discovers just how special she is. A bright, 1920\u2019s feminist, Evie asserts herself into investigations around the city that have a paranormal elements to them. Not only is Evie a great role model but someone I would love to run around New York City with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Janelle Franklin from Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"318\" height=\"460\" src=\"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Truly-Devious.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1173\" srcset=\"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Truly-Devious.jpg 318w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Truly-Devious-207x300.jpg 207w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Truly-Devious-104x150.jpg 104w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><figcaption> <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/books\/truly-devious-a-mystery-9780062338068\/9780062338068\">Truly Devious: A Mystery (bookshop.org)<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A student at the illustrious Ellingham Academy, Janelle Franklin is a character I very much see aspects of myself in. Passionate, driven, and a seasoned multitasker Janelle pours everything into what she does. Whether it is building a Rube Goldberg Machine or corralling grumpy Nate to go to the Halloween dance, Janelle shines as a role model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Kiera Johnson- Slay by Brittney Morris<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"676\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Slay-676x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1174\" srcset=\"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Slay-676x1024.jpg 676w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Slay-198x300.jpg 198w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Slay-99x150.jpg 99w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Slay-768x1164.jpg 768w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Slay-1014x1536.jpg 1014w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Slay-1351x2048.jpg 1351w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Slay.jpg 1399w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><figcaption> <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/books\/slay\/9781534445437\">Slay (bookshop.org)<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Coder Kiera Johnson believes there should be safe spaces for Black gamers so she creates Slay- a place to celebrate the diversity of Blackness. When a teen dies in the real world as a result of the game Kiera must grapple with whether to step forward as the creator of the game. Kiera also faces situations many young black people face and acts as a role model for how to move through these situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Vivian Carter from Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"667\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Moxie-667x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1175\" srcset=\"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Moxie-667x1024.jpg 667w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Moxie-195x300.jpg 195w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Moxie-98x150.jpg 98w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Moxie-768x1179.jpg 768w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Moxie-1000x1536.jpg 1000w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Moxie-1334x2048.jpg 1334w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Moxie.jpg 1612w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><figcaption> <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/books\/moxie\/9781250104267\">Moxie (bookshop.org)<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fed up with the extremely sexist culture of her high school, Vivian Carter starts a revolution through the power of zines. If you are wondering where you can find zines, there is a boxful in our Literary Arts room! Quiet but fierce, Vivian utilizes her strengths to make social change.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>The Gallagher Girls from Gallagher Girls Series by Ally Carter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Love-you-kill-you.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1177\" srcset=\"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Love-you-kill-you.jpg 267w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Love-you-kill-you-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Love-you-kill-you-100x150.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><figcaption> <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/books\/i-d-tell-you-i-love-you-but-then-i-d-have-to-kill-you-10th-anniversary-edition\/9781484785058\">I&#8217;d Tell You I Love You, But Then I&#8217;d Have to Kill You (10th Anniversary Edition) (bookshop.org)<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I could not make this list without including the characters from the series that shaped my child through young adulthood. I also could not pick just one of the characters from this cast. Cammie Morgan, Rebecca \u201cBex\u201d Baxter, Liz Sutton, and Macey McHenry were the original squad. I wanted to grow up to have a group of friends like them; they were highly individual and still the best of friends. They were way ahead of the curve when it came to women supporting women.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would encourage everyone to read about powerful women- real or imagined. Who were some of the fictional women that had an impact on you?
