Books and shows are great, but what's even better? Books and shows with strong female protagonists! Here are 5 (in no particular order) books adapted into a series or movie with female protagonists...

1. Big Little Lies


Big Little Lies follow the lives of 3 mothers -Madeline, Celeste, and Jane- who live in a town that's dealing with a murder case. Despite the tragedy of the plot, this show/book is a witty comedy. Madeline, Celeste, and Jane live in a town that’s fueled by scandal and rumors and the narrator explores the mischief these women get into and the hilarity that ensues with it!

3. Ella Enchanted

Who doesn’t love a fairy tale? Ella Enchanted is a light-hearted story about the retelling of Cinderella. Ella has been “gifted” (more like cursed) with the obedience, for she must obey any command given to her no matter what. If this “gift” is made known, Ella is gonna face a lot more trouble than just her catty step-sisters.

4. Hidden Figures

Three female NASA employees- Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson- are the untold masterminds behind sending John Glenn into space. This is a true story about the discrimination and misogyny that black women faced during a time when many didn’t believe in their intelligence. Not only did that prove the world wrong, but they made a permanent imprint on our history.

Hannah has left 13 tapes dedicated to different students at her school that explains their part in her decision in ending her life.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
