What:

Talk

When:

10:00 AM, Friday 10 Aug 2012 CDT (50 minutes)

Where:

Hilton Chicago - Northwest Hall 1

The fictional teenage heroines of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Hunger Games, and Avatar: Legend of Korra have more than these central conflicts to tackle. By exploring these three young women thrust into leadership positions and expected to fight for (or against) a larger cause, we can discuss what common threads tie them together, as well as the complexities that make them such diverse, unique, and relatable characters. Whether you favor a stake, bow and arrow, or natural element, be sure to bring an open mind.
