Fantasy Heroines Captioned
“I am my own heroine.” ~ Marie Bashkirtseff
I have a friend who has long made the case that Twilight is an abstinence-supporting conspiracy to turn young girls into brooding, swooning extras from 80s horror movies that trip over tree branches while running from the serial killer as punishment for having dared to have sex.
I don’t know about that. But I do know the chick in the movies isn’t my model of a fantasy heroine. By a long shot.
