No love for Roxane of Cyrano de Bergerac? She's possibly my favorite heroine in anything.
American Literature: Jo March is on everyone's mind, I see, and mine too, but Scarlett O'Hara is terribly entertaining. Not a very good moral role model, though, just fun to read. Oh, there's also Eliza from Uncle Tom's Cabin, who is very badass, but kind of two-dimensional because Stowe was making a point. This is tough, because when I say to myself, "Hmm, what are American classics?", my mind goes blank.
French: Roxane, hands down, but I also like Eponine.
Russian literature: Gah, the only Russian literature I'm familiar with is The Three Sisters, and I can't stand a single female in it.
Canadian: Sure, Anne of Green Gables. Only in the first book, though. What other Canadian books are there?
Book in German: The Diary of Anne Frank was probably initially in German, right? Or Night. At least one of those.
