Books that are misogynistic to avoid for teens?

Well i personally think that most teen books paint women in a bad light, this is due mostly to the blonde valley girl stereotype that most teen books revolve around. The problem is that no matter what she is going to read something negative of women no matter what, so i suggest just let her read what she wants, but help her to understand and see the negative points without being a content nazi.

I have heard good things about "By the Sword" by Mercedes Lackey. Heard bad things about Tamora Pierce. A review said that her female characters are portrayed as tough, yet they always need to be saved. By a man.

I can understand wanting to avoid misogyny in books because readers get so attached to characters. Sometimes we want to be like them, or subconsciously emulate it. I know a lot of media I was exposed to as a young girl still affects me today.

Try Charles DeLint in the YA section. He's a Canadian author, but he writes strong female characters.

Or try Robin McKinley. She has a gift for retelling fairy tales that is all about the strong heroine.

Let her read misogynistic books, unfortunately it's something she's going to have to deal with because there are men out there who think like that, she might as well read into it and about it, so it's not so shocking for her.

CS Lewis is the only misogynistic author I can think of.
