Currently Reading: Female Archetypes

from Girls Gone Reading

In this episode of Girls Gone Reading, Kirsten and Kaylee dive into the many female archetypes that dominate literature—from the ice queen and the final girl to the eldest daughter, the morally gray menace, and the woman on the verge of a complete breakdown. They chat through why these character types resonate so deeply, how they’ve evolved across genres, and which books absolutely perfected them, with plenty of recommendations and strong opinions along the way.
