My absolute favorite nerd girl is Anne Shirley. I also like Susan Calvin from I, Robot (the character from the book, definitely not the movie). In the television spectrum, Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica gets high marks. I have a fondness for Peggy Olsen from Mad Men as well, although I don’t think she’s a true “nerd girl” yet (but may be by the end of the series).
Who are your favorite fictional nerd girls?
