I really like Madame Marneffe from Balzac's Cousin Bette (literature student, sorry). She's not a positive woman but she's really strong and I really admire the way she brings everyone around her into her web. She dominates everyone around her, directly or deviously, and puts herself in a position of destructive power in the middle of a man's world. God, that sounds awful, doesn't it

Demelza from the Poldark books by Winston Graham.

She came from the gutter but managed to hold her own against the gentry, her rival the beautiful Elizabeth and was a perfect match for the rebellious, adventous, risk taking husband Ross. The working cla** respected her and the gentry came to. Not bad for a kitchen maid!

Got to agree with you there!

I must concur that Miss Scarlett is the empitome of courage and strength and she wins hands down. But i find Alice from Lewis Carrolls Alice's adventures in wonderland to be somewhat courageous too, how many of us could say that they would have stood tall in the face of the queen of hearts while she bellowed "OFF WITH HER HEAD!" at us???

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room

Lillian Cutler from from Virginia Andrews Cutler series, when you read about her childhood you understand why she's so hard nosed.

If it's white, sticky and not yours dont touch it.
