I've been talking lately with some wonderful ladies I've met on Wattpad about portrayal of females in fiction in general and about some of the rampant, hurtful stereotypes present in many stories published on this very site.
But I don't want to rant about what's wrong – I want to support and promote (with whatever humble resources at my disposal) what I find right. I fear though, that one little old me cannot do much good, so I ask you – fellow Wattpaders – for help.
Send me via PM links and recomendations of books published on Wattpad, that feature positive YA/NA heroines. What constitutes such a heroine? Let me break it down for you:
1. SHE DOESN'T ENGAGE IN GIRL-ON-GIRL HATE AND/OR SLUT-SHAMING.
2. SHE HAS AT LEAST ONE MEANINGFUL FEMALE FRIENDSHIP.
3. SHE LIKES HERSELF.
So you see, what I am asking of you is quite simple. I'll review your recomendations and will add the stories that meet the requirements to my reading list called 'YA/NA romances with positive heroines'. Also, I encourage you to vote on this books, comment them, support their authors, increase their reads-count and do anything else you can think of to push this stories to the forefront. I we want more positive heroines in our novels we must make our desires seen.
