Yet Another Reason Meg Cabot is Fucking Awesome

[caitri]

She inculcates all her YA lit with feminism! Like the sparkles on the tiara Princess Mia wore in the Princess Diaries, Allie's fun rules and Em's sudden plunge into the world of high fashion are just the bait to draw readers to the real message behind my bookswhich is the same message I was taught growing up, and the message I feel is so important to today's generation, because it seems to be getting lost in a world where so few girls self-identify as a feminist:

Everyone has value as an individual. Let's celebrate our individuality, but at the same time, learn to tolerate one another's special uniqueness. And let's ensure that all children, girls as well as boys, have the same opportunities. We're all equal. By believing in ourselves, we can accomplish anything.

MEGA-HEART.
