[Top Ten Tuesday: Female Characters Who Stick It To The Man]

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup hosted by The Broke And The Bookish!

There is one type of character that I love reading more than all the rest.  A strong female character who is able to do what needs to be done even in the most dire circumstances.  (Super snarky characters are a close second)  But that being said, there is nothing like watching a YA heroine actually be a hero.  Sure they might have the help of a handsome gent, but these girls aren't the ones who would dissolve into a pool of tears or become immobile with fear even if they were alone.  So here they are, the bravest of the brave, the nonconformists and the female characters who have the guts to make the tough calls.
