My pick for #unforgettablewoman is Miss Alexia Tarabotti. Me and my mother actually talk sometimes about her and I think that qualifies as unforgettable

josie281 I just finished the second book focused on her daughter, Prudence. Have you read those yet? 8y

SuperPunkNinja Love this book! Great heroine! 8y
Serotonin You should check out the graphic novel version - I liked it. I need to read the actual print version sometime 😉 8y
DuckOfDoom @josie281 I liked the originals a bit better but enjoyed the new ones too. @Serotonin yeah I should get them some time. But the actual books are really worth it! 8y

I had to think about this one for a while, because there are so many to choose from, and so many of my favorites had already been mentioned. Then my eye fell on this one, and I laughed. Amelia Peabody is most certainly an #unforgettablewoman, as is Elizabeth Peters! #booktober

The Language of Flowers: A Novel | Vanessa Diffenbaugh

For #booktober day 20, I instantly thought of this novel. Victoria is an #unforgettablewoman: though often maddening and sometimes difficult to relate to, her heartbreaking story and her ability to overcome has stayed with me. This read is host to a few other #unforgettablewomen, too. Highly recommended!

No one is quite as #unforgettable as the Mother of Dragons, Khaleesi Daenerys Targaryan. Strong and sure in passion and leadership, she is an old soul in a young woman's body. #unforgettablewoman #unforgettablewomen #booktober

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Love it, great pick! 8y

The Golden Compass- amazing book, the movie was a total dud. #octphotochallenge #ruinedbythemovie

Also, Lyra is such a strong little girl, I'm imagining her grownup into an #unforgettablewoman for #booktober!

LibrarianRyan You are right. I think they had good actors with a bad script. 8y
Hooked_on_books Is that a picture of @BookishFeminist and her ferret? 😂😉 8y

Talk about an #unforgettablewoman... This book opened my eyes to issues of slavery that aren't taught in school, and that we in our modern times never "have" to think about. But it's always good to find out our own history from people who actually lived it, and this is one of those books. I encourage you to read this with your mind on the fact that these events didn't happen *really* long ago, and our society still has a long way to go. #booktober
