Why do my favorite mystery/action/sci-fi books always have such small, weird heroines?
Snow Crash – Y.T.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, etc. – Lizbeth
Smilla’s Sense of Snow – Smilla.
The females are always
Small.
Have amazing, unusual talents.
Are survivors of a backstory ranging from odd to horrific.
Next time, I want to read about a tall, relatively ordinary girl.
I’m currently working on a mystery novel. All the main characters are women (and fiber arts work their way through the story!), and one is very tall. As am I.
