The protagonist Scarlett OHara can be any modern day womans ideal. Ambitious, feminine, passionate, kind, she is a great persona who even shadows the real hero (obviously the male counterpart Rhett Butler)at times. The book is a Must Read for all those young career oriented women out there, who are learning the art of making a mark in the world dominated by male power. The best part are the words after all tomorrow is another day.The motion picture is not as pleasurable as the book though.
