"Cimorene is the best heroine simply because she refuses to give up her femininity or the trappings of femininity in order to overcome her circumstances and trounce the expectations of society. She's doesn't have to be masculine to succeed, nor enter a man's world to feel fulfilled and defeat evil. She can be a princess and cook and clean and speak Latin and do as she pleases and no one can shake her confidence in herself and her decisions—not knights or princes, not her parents, not dragons, not other princesses."
