Five beloved heroines to channel on an off day

Erin Blakemore's debut book, The Heroine’s Bookshelf, was released last month by HarperCollins.

For Flashlight Worthy, she named five beloved heroines to channel on an off day.

One book on her list:

Gone with the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell

Do you suspect you're not getting your due? Take a page out of Scarlett O'Hara's book and snatch up what's yours anyway. Sure, she's not exactly known for her tact or maturity, but Scarlett's got spunk to spare. Whether making an epic grab for her man or her land, Scarlett's got enough fight to enliven your struggles at work and at home.
