Gender Across Borders posted this fantastic flowchart that shows the usual stereotypes of female characters. (You should be able to enlarge the image by clicking on it.) The original focus was on film and television characters, but I'm curious about books. See if you can trace a particular female character from a novel you've read across this chart, and then tell me about it.

That was fun. I followed Katniss from the Suzanne Collins books. I got down to "what's her flaw?" and there wasn't a final answer that fit very well. It is so interesting to see the questions and where they take a character!
