On the other hand, she's not really a model of educational excellence, as is proven when she writes herself a letter. She takes care of herself, she doesn't rely on any man (well, at nine years old, she's a little young to be a trophy wife anyway), she's generous but not a doormat, and she does pretty much whatever she wants. The more I think about it, the more I realize that Pippi is a real feminist icon. I always get a lump in my throat at the end, whether I'm nine or twenty-nine. This is the book where Pippi goes on a picnic, gets shipwrecked, and is reunited with her father. Come on: the strongest girl in the world? who's richer than God? and lives by herself? with a horse? and a monkey? Pippi Longstocking was my hero when I was a little girl.
