Excuse the title, I couldn’t think of a good one and I figured that would make you want to click here more than anything. Let’s face it, your curiosity is what brought you here isn’t it?

So back in July the topic of the weekly newsletter, was discussing a question. The question was sent in by a young girl with a gift. Aka, ME. The question was this: “How do I write a strong, kick-butt female character without making her a total feminist?” 

This may not be a struggle of yours, but it is to me.

I am not a feminist and I don’t want my story to sound like it’s all feminist but I still enjoy having female protagonists. I do not believe it’s biblical for women to be over a man but I don’t think we’re wimps either haha. If you didn’t get the email but your interested to see what @hope-ann responded with, let me know. She had a wonderful response!

So my question for you is,  how do I write a strong, kick-butt female character without making her a total feminist?

I know this is a controversial topic, but if you don’t mind I’d like to keep this thread argument-free so if you don’t agree just pass on without saying anything please. I’m all for a good debate, but I don’t want to cause any arguments haha

I am tagging some people but if you don’t agree just ask me to not tag you in this thread again. Thanks 🙂
