Lisbeth Salander Is Not Pippi Longstocking, No Matter What Stieg Larsson Said

“Over the past year much has been made of Larsson explicitly writing Lisbeth, with her tattoos, trauma and propensity for violent wrath, as the grown up version of Pippi Longstocking … This isn’t what [Pippi creator Astrid] Lindgren intended.” (Besides, Lisbeth doesn’t have the right socks. Or hair.)
