"The Mystery of A Feminist Icon" -- Salon's Priya Jain examines Nancy Drew, girl sleuth and symbol of spunkiness to six decades of young (female) readers. But Nancy's latest incarnation is a little less steely teenage perfection, a little more "Does this make me look fat?" Hmmmm...I always liked reading the mysteries, they seemed so retro and the plots were satisfying, sort of a precursor to my current L&O obsession, I guess. Bring back the titian-haired ice princess!
