As a reader, I enjoy strong women who are not afraid to be sensual. Having said that, I also enjoy real characters with flaws. Well, flaws or real emotions.
Although Rosalind Russell, shown above and below, did not write her characters, she portrayed women with a style, strength, sense of humor and zest for living life. She played these to the hilt at a time in our history when women were not allowed to be much more than window dressing for leading men.
What I don't enjoy are women drawn as props or helpless whiners. Never will these be leading ladies in my novels.
So, thanks for the inspiration Roz!
