Literally came here to say Scarlett’s determination and resilience shaped me as a young girl reading that book.

Preach!! It’s often seen as a character flaw. But it’s what makes her such a force!

I remember someone telling me that in my teens and I just said “she’s living through war…it’s human nature to be selfish when facing the need to survive”. If Scarlett had been Stephen or Simon or whatever her selfishness and survival/business acumen would be universally applauded.
