Female Archetypes

While searching for female archetypes, I found a table of archetype characterization from the book "Heroes and Heroines: 16 Master Archetypes," by Caro LeFever, Tami Cowden and Sue Viders.
It lists 8 heroines as well as a description and a pop culture reference. The archetype we've seen in our readings recently have been The Free Spirit/the Spunky Kid. Little Red Riding Hood and Where are You Going, Where Have you Been? are good examples of the spunky kid. Any form of the seductress in out mythological readings have been filled by Goddesses.
