This thread has been bugging me - mostly because I *know* that I read heaps of books when I was younger that had awesome females in them - and especially because some of the most enduring female authors were women who stood outside of the normative values of the day themselves. But can I remember them? No! Mind you, I don't remember too many of the male lead characters in the hundreds of books I've read, either, so it might be more about my memory and less about the books.

But - this one: Charlotte's Web.
