Jessica Winter's first novel is Break in Case of Emergency. For The Week magazine she tagged six favorite novels on girl power, including:Cat's Eye by Margaret AtwoodRead about the other books on the list.
Diabolical, irresistible Cordelia is one of Atwood's most indelible creations — the original (and worst) Mean Girl, who in the protagonist's flashbacks torments her to a near-lethal breaking point.
