"She was wearing black jeans, a black T-shirt, and the obligatory leather jacket. She wore black boots and a small rucksack with a strap across her chest." (271)

This is not an unusual description of Lisbeth's outfits. You are more likely to find her in black than any other color. She doesn't dress like a 'normal' woman would. She's also covered in tattoos and piercings, more so than a 'normal' woman would be expected to have. It would be correct to say that Lisbeth is unlike most women and doesn't fit into their stereotypical categories. In a chapter of Beginning Theory, Judith Butler points out that identity categories like 'gay' and 'straight' are basic, go-to descriptions that everyone uses. Lisbeth is outside the norm because she appears to be more masculine than feminine. She doesn't care about stereotypes and has nothing to prove to anyone.
