Mine would have to be Scarlett O'Hara. She was a strong-willed, beautiful southern girl who most people believe was just a spoiled, rich brat. But she was much more than that. She was extremely smart, although she played the part of the damsel in distress very well. She was also very determined . . . to come home during the Civil War and find your land barren and dying, she transformed Tara back into the bountiful plantation it once was and saved her family from despair by marrying a man she did not love but knew would give her the financial freedom she needed to save her beloved land and family. What a classic character, and not to mention, how wonderful to see a woman in such a position during a time when women were not even allowed to vote!
