If you're after ideas for what to read this summer, look no further than our round-up of the best summer reads for 2019.

To enter, simply tell us your favourite female character from a book (old or new and from any genre).

A winner will be drawn at random at midday on Monday 15 July. Usual terms and conditions apply. Note that because of the size and weight of the prize box, we are only able to deliver to mainland UK addresses.

Ah, there are so many great characters to choose from. First thoughts to my mind came Jane Eyre, Jo March and Celie from Color Purple. They are all great and many more.
