520    "Debating literature's greatest heroines with a friend, 
       playwright Samantha Ellis has a revelation--"My whole life,
       I'd been trying to be Cathy, when I should have been 
       trying to be Jane." With this discovery, she embarks on a 
       retrospective look at the literary ladies--the characters 
       and the writers--whom she has loved since childhood. From 
       early obsessions with the March sisters to later 
       idolizations of Sylvia Plath, Ellis evaluates how her 
       heroines stack up today. And, just as she excavates the 
       stories of her favorite characters, Ellis also shares a 
       frank, often humorous account of her own life growing up 
       in a tight-knit Iraqi Jewish community in London. 
       Reflecting on the girls, the women, and the books that she
       loves the most, here a life-long reader explores how these
       heroines have shaped all of our lives"--|cProvided by 
       publisher. 
520    "A young writer explores what some of the greatest women 
       in literature have meant to her--and how these timeless 
       characters still serve as a guide for the way we lead our 
       lives"--|cProvided by publisher.
