Twilight Roles and Susan B. Anthony

I think in Twilight and the rest of the series, there is some sexist things happening and being portrayed. Bella is seen as a helpless girl until she meets Edward and see can’t seem to let him go. Bella is way dependent on Edward and Jacob in New Moon. She is portraying that Women can’t be dependent of themselves and have to have a boyfriend and that she can’t be on her own. All though these books are good (I think.) They are teaching the wrong things to young fans(tweens) that love these books.
