To any reasonable woman with a sense of dignity, it is obvious that Bella Swan, the protagonist of the series, is the antichrist to modern women’s rights. Bella spends too much time putting herself down, wondering how Edward could possibly be in love with her. Instead of providing us with an independent heroine who we can aspire to be like, Meyer gives us Bella Swan: the constant damsel in distress. Let me recap the series for you:In Twilight, Bella almost dies because she gives up and goes to meet her would-be murderer. And yet, young girls are currently inspired by Bella, the girl who would sacrifice the world to be with Edward.
