We are frustrated by the
small number of truly powerful, well-written feminist books for young
readers, and by the small number of non-white, non-Western characters.
We are also dismayed by the dearth of authentic feminist fiction for
beginning and middle readers.

I am amazed at how few of the books I have read, though I love to read about strong female characters.  Definitely a list worthy of exploring.

Here are some of my favorites from the list:

Princess Pigsty by Cornelia Funke

Hiromi’s Hands by Lynne Barasch

The Plain Janes by Cecil Castelluci and Jim Rugg

Do any of you have other favorites on the list?  Or other books with strong female characters that did not make the list?
