Top Ten Tuesday hosted by The Broke and the Bookish which allows us to make fun bookish lists and share them with the world.
This week's list is:
Top Ten Mean Girls
10. Rachel Price from The Poisonwood BibleRachel isn't so much a mean girl as a snotty, whiny brat. She's materialistic and full of herself from the beginning of the book all the way to the end. For a book that spans around 40 years, it's pretty sad when someone experiences practically zero personal growth.

9. Mrs. Reed in Jane Eyre
Jane's aunt is mean, spiteful and just plain cruel. What's worse is that she is all these things to a child. Seriously, it's quite sad when your poor niece has better manners and more class than you and your family all put together.

8. Lola Quincey from Atonement
I know this one is a bit of a stretch and I feel a bit like a mean girl myself for including a victim of sexual assault on this list. However, I'm a little on the fence about how much of a victim she was. She was too young to actually consent but I feel like she was possibly a willing participant and went along with Briony's claim that the Robbie was a rapist, probably afraid of her parents finding out or to save her reputation. I could go on but that's another discussion. Lola is on my list because ruining a mans life to save your skin is despicable.
7. Rosalie Hale from Twilight
This is an easy one. She's conceited and snotty and isn't afraid to point out your flaws to your face. She's like an immortal Regina George. 'Nuff said.
6. Hilly Holbrook from The Help
I think this is a no-brainer for anyone who has read the book. Hilly is a complete and total bitch. She's racist, full of herself, bossy, snooty and just plain evil.Seriously, just watch the trailer.

5. Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada
She's the complete boss from hell. She's tough as nails and takes no prisoners. I think I'd rather be homeless than work under this woman. Seriously, you don't get the title 'Dragonlady' without being a mean girl.

4. Hatsumomo from Memoirs of a Geisha
Hatsumomo is sch a complete cow to Sayuri through the entire book for what appears to be no apparent reason. In reality she's just insanely jealous of Sayuri and her beauty but then again, isn't jealously the driving force behind many mean girls?

3. Delores Umbridge from Harry Potter
Ohhh, never have I hated a fictional character more than Delores Umbridge. From her very first 'hem, hem' to the end of the series, I actively despised this woman. If she was real I don't know that I could stop myself from hunting her down for a good old fashioned bitchslap!

2. Caroline Bingley from Pride & Prejudice
She's just a super snotty beyotch that feels the need to belittle others to make herself look better. Of course, we all know that tactic almost always backfires.
1. President Coin from Mockingjay
Ugh, this woman just ends up being the epitome of everything she's fighting against. Electing her was like trading one brand of poison for another. Except she's trying to dress it up as a betterment for the county. Whatever, she's a cow.
Ok, which ladies are you all ready to bitchslap?

We've both got Hilly on our lists - what a bitch! Thnks for stopping by my blog :-)
Awesome list! I had hatsumomo too, although I would kind of say briony was meaner than lola in atonement...
Lola looks like my idea of Cecily from Wither, although a bit younger.
Women I'd like to smack with a Mallet
Fantastic list! I now want to read The Help thanks to that trailor, lol. There isn't a single person I don't agree with on there. I know what you mean about Lola.
Great list! I have Hilly and Caroline Bingley on my list too. How did I forget Dolores Umbridge?
Many people picked Umbridge! I didn't think of President Coin! Good list.
Good list!
I have Umbridge and Caroline Bingley on my list. The lastter seems to be universally (un)popular.
I love that picture of Caroline Bingley! Haha she has bitch written all over her. Mrs Reed made my list too.
Yes Yes Yes! Awesome list :)
Seems most have the same top ten this week. Rosalie's on mine. Great list!
Top Ten
Dolores and Rosalie are on my list too. I completely agree with Hilly. I totally forgot how cruel she was.
Oooh, these women sound positively dreadful! And you had some on the list that should have made mine if only I'd remembered them, namely Miranda Priestly and Dolores Umbridge. Thank you for visiting and happy reading! :)
I forgot about Hilly! She was horrible, and definitely got we she deserved, thanks to Minny. :) Good call about President Coin - I remembered Glimmer but forgot about her!
You listed good!
Check out my bad girls in my Top Ten post!
Awesome list of female baddies! Hilly Holbrook is perfect, as well as President Coin. Well done!
So many great choices and great commentary! Nice call on Rachael Price and Mrs. Reed.
I forgot about President Coin! Gosh was she a power hungry,freak. I was glad when Katniss got her. And that Lola Quincey looks like a pill.
Great List! I can't believe I forgot Hatsumomo.
Great list. Rosalie is quite rude.
Yep, I agree with all of your choices! I haven't read The Help yet, but that trailer definitely made me want to slap Hilly.
We have Hilly in common. President Coin is also one I didn't think of but can't stomach.
Reading Lark's Top 10
Hilly and Umbridge! ARG! I hate umbridge so much because she is so extremely horrible in every way. I actually didn't think of Hilly but she definitely deserves to be on there too.
