Stories about women with a difficult fate are always exceptional and arouse genuine interest and sincere empathy in readers. Many love to read books where a strong character isn’t afraid to go against rules, circumstances, or her own feelings. What if we imagine that some characters were not created by writers, but came to life thanks to their real-life prototypes?
We, from awesome.club, we analyzed some books and found women whose lives formed the basis for the pages of great literary works. See what our favorite heroines looked like in real life.

The marriage of the French princess Margaret of Valois, sister of King Charles IX, to the Huguenot Henry of Navarre, was arranged for political reasons. It aimed to reconcile Catholics and Protestants. However, love affairs, palace intrigues and bloody conspiracies caused this plan to be changed.
The difficult fate of Queen Margot was portrayed by Alexandre Dumas and later came to life on screen. Isabelle Adjani was one of the actresses who played the historical figure with mastery.
Joan Madou (The Arc de TriompheErich Maria Remarque)
Marlene Dietrich was the prototype of the beautiful and rebellious singer Joan Madou de The Arc de Triomphe, written by Remarque. The author was in love with Dietrich. Their vivid and dramatic romance formed the basis for the love affair between the German surgeon Ravik and the singer Joan. The protagonist’s appearance is very reminiscent of Marlene.
Hürrem Haseki Sultan (roxelanaPavel Zagrebelny)
Hürrem Haseki Sultan (also known as Roxelana) was the favorite concubine of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, who became his official wife. According to a legend, Roxelana was a woman of Slavic origin, and her real name was Aleksandra Gavrilovna Lisowska. Contemporaries claimed that Roxelana resorted to love spells to win Suleiman’s heart. Perhaps that is why European historiography attributes to Roxelana the image of an astute and power-hungry woman.

Emma Bovary (Madame BovaryGustave Flaubert)
The character Emma Bovary was inspired by Delphine Delamar (Couturier), a young woman who was unable to live the boring bourgeois life with her husband. Flaubert carefully studied her story and described the heroine’s image to the smallest detail, sometimes working over the same passages for weeks and even months.
“Her hair, whose black bands seemed unbroken because they were so straight, was parted in the middle of her head, by a thin part following the curve of her skull in two portions that allowed only the earlobe to be seen, before joining in an abundant braid at the nape of the neck, from which they left in ripples towards the foreheads, something that the village doctor saw for the first time in his life. She had rosy cheeks and, like men, wore a tortoiseshell spyglass tucked between two buttons on her bodice.
Anne of Austria (The three MusketeersAlexandre Dumas)
Anne of Austria’s relationship with Louis XIII was portrayed by Alexandre Dumas in the famous novel The three Musketeers🇧🇷 It is worth noting that the queen played an important role in the events of the turbulent 17th century. Anne’s figure was marked by various palace intrigues and her love relationships with Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarino, with the King of France and the Duke of Buckingham.
Anne of Austria was a blonde woman with clear eyes, and it was Rubens who immortalized her dazzling beauty on screen.
Anna Kirillovna (MorphineMikhail Bulgakov)
Tatyana Nikolaevna Lappa, the first wife of Mikhail Bulgakov, is considered the prototype of Anna Kirillovna, from the literary work Morphine🇧🇷 Lappa was by Bulgakov’s side in the most difficult moments.

Grace Marks (aka graceMargaret Atwood)

“His shoulders are wrapped in a cape; the brim of a bonnet surrounds her head like a dark halo. Her nose is straight, her mouth delicate, her expression conventionally sentimental — the flat melancholy of a Magdalene, with her large contemplative eyes.”
Catherine Barkley (Farewell to ArmsErnest Hemingway)
During World War I, Hemingway was wounded and admitted to a Red Cross hospital in Milan. There, he met the nurse Agnes von Kurowsky, who “was blonde and had dark skin.
