Meg Murry and Hermione Granger: The two girls that helped generations

We love a strong female character and that’s why Meg Murry and Hermione Granger are idols. But how did these two amazing ladies help young girls everywhere?

Do you know who Meg Murry is? Well, if you don’t, you should. She’s an amazing character from the series A Wrinkle in Time. But much like our beloved Hermione Granger, she is one of those characters that helped young girls everywhere realize their potential.

There is no short supply of inspiring male characters. Everywhere you turn, there seems to be a new one. For girls, it is a lot more limiting. We don’t necessarily have the best films or characters to look up to.

So with characters like Hermione and Meg, we suddenly feel important. Like no matter what happens in this world, we can strive for greatness too. Now, Meg Murry is coming to our screens in a big way with Ava Duvernay’s take on the classic novel.

And it forced me to think about why Hermione and Meg are so important. Yes, Hermione is a witch and yes, Meg deals with powerful beings but these two are just normal girls who use their brains for the greater good.

Powerful female characters are great. But seeing two young girls use their smarts to outwit someone is even better. Why? Because it shows us that we can do anything we put our minds to. We don’t have to be a god or have powers or anything really. We just have to believe in ourselves and what we are capable of doing.

So thank you to Meg Murry and Hermione Granger for showing us ladies that we can do whatever we want. We are strong and we thank you for that!
