I ❤ this. It makes me think back to film studies, when we would discuss how movies typically presented active males but passive females (that's finally changing). It's so striking to see the concept laid out so plainly in this classic: a female character who wants to be active, but recognizes how society restricts that. This is why female voices matter in fiction of any medium, from any period. #activefemale 😊
