Werewolves will get more girl power when pigs fly. and everyone who writes a “real” werewolf book will just be attacked by Twilight fan girls saying the women and girls need to be submissive because they want them and their boyfriend to be exactly like Edward and Bella.

I am currently working on many stories and one of them has a werewolf character that’s a girl. She is a teenager so no 6′ muscles for her.

I’m reading a collection of werewolf stories for my course and I was actually surprised to find how many of them featured women as the werewolf (because women are all wicked, decietful creatures). The book is called the Werewolf pack and whilst these stories (gen. from the 1800s) aren’t empowering to women, a lot of the werewolves featured in them do turn out to be the women that have worked their way into the man’s home.

There are many female werewolf heroines out there, who are tough capable of defending themselves. Even Patricia Brigg’s Anna is tough in her own right, and able to defend herself. She simply has strengths in other areas.
There are other heroines, for example, Kelley Armstrong’s Elena Micheals, Karen MacInterney’s Sophie Garou, Thomas Emson’s Laura Greenacre.
I think that women simply need different traits to make a good story. Who wants to read about a 6ft women with the muscles of a man kicking ass? People want to read something they can relate to, and having someone struggle to overcome foe’s greater than themselves is a good way to do that.
You need to have something to test the heroines strength, and a ‘weaker’ female werewolf in a world of strong male werewolf’s is a perfect.
:) Even so, you want 6ft muscle bound female shifters? Try Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake, she has a variety of character’s in her novels, which includes an over 6ft muscle bound shifter ;)

Hey nel,
Check out the post that Moonlight wrote about “The Howling: Reborn”, which is going to be a remake of the 1981 film. I’ve also heard from other sources that it is still a go, and that they are starting to film it in Canada next month. So I’d say it’s not going to be out until next year. But so cool, still!

I don´t know if there is a plan to shoot a remake of The Howling, that will be great (more werewolves more fun ) The original movie was ” the howling” by Joe dante, and the name of this female character was Marsha. The first time i saw this movie i decided that i will be forever on the werewolf side. And thanks to this webpage i don´t feel lonely anymore. (Too much bloodsuckers out there) :)

Is that the same Howling that’s currently being remade?
