The Hunger Games was on the New York Times bestseller list for 100 weeks. There are more than twenty foreign editions. More than 2.9 million copies of the books are in print. Catching Fire and Mockingjay, the next two books, were released in 20. The Hunger Games, released in 2008, is the first book in a trilogy by Suzanne Collins. I am always interested in the representations of strength in women, where that strength comes from, how it is called upon when it is needed most, and what it costs for a woman to be strong.Īll too often, representations of a woman’s strength overlook that cost.
