[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a younger person, "Alex the life of a child" by Frank Deford. As a woman in my 20s, "The road to Coorain" and "Guns Germs and Steel." As a now middle-aged person, "Caste." [/quote] I also loved "The road to Coorain." For me personally, "Jane Eyre." I first read it in Chinese translation in 7th grade and Jane's my first feminist. [/quote] I read Jane Eyre in middle school and she remains one of the most adored heroines of my literary journeying. She is also the reason I set my expectations for marriage very high and chose to be a free human being with an independent will. As Jane said, “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.” Jane Eyre is one of the greatest feminists and most admirable characters in all literature, I believe.
