You may have noticed a rise in the number of books, TV shows, and movies in which our protagonist is a woman who has just had enough. She is angry, on the edge, and unprepared to take it anymore.
This may seem like a recent trend, but the truth is, authors have been writing female characters who are fighting for agency in a corner of their story’s world for some time now. You don’t have to look too far along the shelves of classic literature to find what some might call an antiheroine.
In today’s blog, we warmly welcome T.J. Emerson, one of our published graduates at The Novelry, to discuss this element of storytelling.
