Lisbeth Salander is less than five feet tall and is often mistaken for a child because of her dimensions: boyish hips and flat chest to be blunt. She is now in her twenties and if she wants to show signs of maturation, I would consider that is a normal response to her delayed development.
For that matter, if feminists are known to be comfortable with their sexuality, (a point that I never read anywhere, but just assume) then Lisbeth fits the bill. Though one of her lesbian partners calls her confused sexually because she suspects that Lisbeth is more hetero than bi-sexual, Lisbeth, nevertheless, is not repressed sexually, and even less concerned about being judged about her choices. That's a very feminist quality.
And, of course, one must remember that this was all written by a male writer, though everything about her personality is in line with someone who is determined to be in control of her choices.
