Scout Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird is boyish girl, and I bet so was Harper Lee. She probably created her from her own experiences.

Yep.  That's totally what I'd have to do.  When I think of all the female characters I've admired over the years, they've always been the more masculine ones, or ones possessing more traditionally masculine qualities than feminine ones.  Scout is certainly one of them.  And Jane Eyre.  And Ellen Foster (the young girl in the book of the same name).  And Offred in The Handmaid's Tale.  And pretty much every character Hilary Swank ever played.
