Yeah, I'm thinking it is going to be harder, too.
But we can do it, ladies!
Ooh this is a little daunting but I'm definitely up for this one!Quick question, can it be a nonfiction book? Like I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban
Sure, Share. We did fictional for the heroes from fictional places, so turn about is fair play.
Thanks Lisa, I'll most likely be doing all fiction, but I was just wondering.
I joined the challenge from the homepage. Excited to start:)

I put myself down for 10, I think the ladies may be a bit more of a challenge than the men were.
Welcome to the challenge, Melissa! I agree; a bit more of a challenge.
Oh, yes, Nikki♥! That's a good one, too.
Okay, Pamela, where are we going to say Princess Alesandra is from? Some unknown country in Europe?

I'd like to join! I have a rough year ahead of me (last term in grad school + will be job hunting) so I am only going to look for 5. But! Well, it may still end up being a challenge for me, haha. HEAC: Heroines Around the World - 2015

Heroines Around the World
Let’s find the ladies this year by going international and choose heroines from different countries all around the world. Be sure you don’t have any duplicates!
What if the heroine is from Scotland, living in the US, you ask? You may count her; she’s Scottish.
