Thank you to Jennifer Puryear for including BuildMeUpButtercup in her collection of essays about Carrie Fisher—The Princess Leia Diaries, if you will—at her literature blog, Bacon on the Bookshelf. I loved thinking about my childhood icon and can’t wait to read how her character influenced so many other women.
