10 unusually strong female figures in kid's and young adult's fiction

There has been a great influx of strong female characters into fiction over the last few decades but it has taken a while for them to be main characters and free from stereotyping. I made the below list to show that strength can be found in different ways, but mostly through force of character. This force of character alone is what allows them to be centre stage or important to any story.
The below is just the beginning and a good place to start when searching for strong female characters to act as role models for young minds.
