“What would you like to have Miss?”

“Feminism on the rocks”

I am Jane. Like my name, my story is quite plain. I was raised unwillingly by my aunt, sent to a Lowood Institute. I am compassionate and kind at heart and am made of all the good things. But most importantly, I have a sense of me. I am woman who is strong and stands firmly to her opinions that you might find a novelty considering the women in my generation, all willing to put themselves so low so as to gain a husband. But not me. I have found for myself a position as a governess to Adele at Thornfield. It was here that I fell in love with a rather ill looking man, who made me suffer on accord of his callousness and made go through the stings of jealousy and what not, even when he proposed me to be his wife, I had more of ill-fate in stored for me. But I never stooped low because no matter how insignificant I may seem, I am Jane. I am Jane Eyre and to me my pride stands above all.

Now that we are in the times gone by and pride is in the theme, let me introduce myself I am Elizabeth Bennet I am the second eldest daughter in the family of five sisters and all the girls are out. I first met an obnoxious and arrogant Mr.Darcy at a ball where he refused to dance with me because I was not upto his taste. He is the man to be blamed for my sister’s tragic sadness. He confessed his love for me despite all my flaws and I hate him from the core of my heart. Our paths keep crossing and slowly my prejudices that ruled my pride gave way to his benevolence and the rest we all know because we have all watched Keira Knightley in “Pride an Prejudice”. Right?

I was a misfit. I was even diagnosed with depression when I was a teenager. I stole from malls and ran in the wrong kind of group. And now, I made it into the Forbes as one of the richest self made women in the world I am Sophia Amoruso. I began buying cheap retro stuff of the street market and tidied it and decorated it and often even modeled for it and sold it on ebay. With time my business named ‘Nasty Girl’ grew and I have few lessons to pass on the new girls. Like: “It is cool to be kind. It is cool to be weird. It is cool to be honest and secure with oneself.” “You create your world blink by blink and its all yours to create”. “You’ve got to show up and own it.” ”Fortune favors Action!”. Be #GirlBoss.

A women comedian, it is not easy to get there and make one’s place in the man’s world, with the knowledge that most of them had a jar of piss in their office. I worked to move to that place, to be able to write for SNL, then be on TV, a special thanks to my striking resemblance to Sarah Pauline. Then I went on to create a series 30 RockI have a daughter too. This is my witty journey upto this point in my BossyPants.

I am Katniss Everdeen, ever since my Dad died my mother lost the sense of being, I have been the guardian of this family. I bring food to the table by hunting that my father taught. I live in a dystopian world, where humans are chosen to put a fight in an arena for the entertainment of the rich. I volunteer for the slaughter because I have to protect my sister Primrose. I play the Hunger Games and defeat them in their games, I am called in again and this time I shatter the whole system. I join the rebels and fight them to the true liberation for us. I am the girl on fire. I am Katniss Everdeen.

 My husband  is cheating on me. I can’t just leave him. He traced her lips with the same two fingers in the snowy night as he did with me when I fell in love with him in the sugar storm. I cannot forgive him. It’s our anniversary and I have a puzzle for him.. I wish to crack open her skull and know what goes on inside it. She is pregnant with my kid and I haven’t touched her in…. She is amazing Amy and after all that we’ve been through I’d be insane to stay with the Gone Girl. But I will.

Wild. A solo trek through Pacific Crest Trail. This is me. My mother died and I don’t know what to do anymore. I am at that place in life when I have no clue where life is taking me. Spontaneously I put in all my savings, sell all the belongings I had and decide to trek. I don’t know what answers I hope to find because truthfully I don’t know the question. I just know that I have to complete this trek. I have to. I have to. I follow some footsteps and I lead some but ultimately this is my trek and this is my struggle.
