    Hanna Flint speaks from the heart in this personal and incisive reflection on how cinema has been the key to understanding herself and the world we live in. A staunch feminist of mixed-race heritage, Hanna has succeeded in an industry not designed for people like her. Interweaving anecdotes from familial and personal experiences—episodes of messy sex, introspection, and that time actor Vincent D'Onofrio tweeted that Hanna Flint sounded like a secret agent—she offers a critical eye on the screen's representation of women and ethnic minorities and their impact on her life, body image, and ambitions, with the humor and eloquence that has made her a leading film critic of her generation. Divided into the sections Origin Story, Coming of Age, Adult Material, Workplace Drama, and Strong Female Character, the book ponders how the creative industries could better reflect our multicultural society. Warm, funny, engaging, and full of film-infused lessons, Strong Female Character will appeal to listeners of all backgrounds and seeks to help us better see ourselves in our own eyes rather than letting others decide who and what we can be.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead" by Olga Tokarczuk is a philosophical thriller set in a remote Polish village. The story revolves around Janina Duszejko, an eccentric, aging woman who lives a solitary life deeply connected to nature and astrology. When a series of mysterious deaths strike the community, all involving local hunters, Janina becomes convinced that the animals are responsible, enacting revenge for the cruelty inflicted upon them. Her unconventional theories, based on astrological interpretations and observations of animal behavior, are met with skepticism and ridicule by the villagers and the police. However, as the deaths continue, and the evidence points to animal involvement, Janina takes matters into her own hands, becoming both detective and vigilante in a quest for what she believes is a higher form of justice. The novel explores themes of animal rights, human-animal relationships, and the limits of human understanding, weaving a compelling narrative that blurs the lines between reason and intuition, crime and compassion.
