That’s what makes Louise Fitzhugh’s 1964 heroine so interesting. And yet Pippi isn’t the only feminist icon hanging out in the fiction stacks – nor was she the first.īut true equality confers the right to be less than impressive, too. Remember that video the Rebel Girls team released? Headlined ‘If you have a daughter, you need to see this’, it vividly called out gender bias by showing a mother-daughter team removing from a shelf all the books that had no male characters (three) then all the books with no female characters (141), and finally those whose female characters were princesses, leaving the shelf almost bare. These days, children’s literature gets a bad rap when it comes to female characters. Since the first instalment of her adventures was published in 1945, Pippi has never been out of print, and remains internationally beloved.

Yet it’s Pippi for whom she is remembered.

Lindgren went on to write many other books, screenplays and essays, regularly appearing in the media and ultimately becoming a global brand.
