Wicked women

Speaking of polls and surveys, Michele from Scholar's Blog is taking a poll to find wicked women in children's literature who aren't witches or fairies. There are some interesting suggestions so far, including Mrs. Coulter from Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy and Mrs Trunchbull from Roald Dahl's Matilda. Head on over to the Scholar's Blog Spoiler Zone to check out the results so far and add your suggestions to the list. Just be aware before you go that this is a spoiler zone, so there might be spoilers.
