At RT in May 2015, as always, I saw next to Jaye Wells during the booksigning, which is one of the best parts of RT for me. This year we had a really interesting conversation about the idea of "strong female characters," and what that means. Why do we use the word "strong?" What exactly are we describing - and how are the attributes of a character who we wouldn't describe as "strong" different from one who is? Are there not-strong characters? We also talk about feminism, raising sons who like to read all the books they can get their hands on, and many other topics. Get bonus content on Patreon
