Strong Women Protagonists

So what I want is a short story or the first chapter of a long story with a strong woman protagonist (that is, main character). I think you all know what I mean by "strong".

I'm not going to be too picky with what kind of story it can be, but NO erotica. I'm 16, I don't want to read that. My favorite genres are fantasy and historical themed stories, but those aren't going to be requirements.

That's pretty much all I need to say. I don't want the story to be extremely long, because I have a short attention span. But if it's necissary for it to be very long, maybe you could send a message to me and warn me beforehand.

Pre-writes allowed.

    I entered a story, and I hope it's what you're looking for. There are probably 2 main characters instead of one, but both are sisters. and I think the older sister is a storng character just because of what she's had to deal with. but i also understand that it might not be what you're looking for! So, if you want me to I'll remove it
