The following paper highlights the deviance of Lisbeth Salander, the protagonist of the Millennium trilogy. I pay close attention to the ways how she is being discriminated, stigmatized and also her practices of fighting injustices. Furthermore, I tend to unravel the role of cyberspace in crime novel and explain Millennium with several existing approaches on traditional hard-boiled detective novel. I will also compare Lisbeth Salander with bandits as they were described by Eric Hobsbawm. At the very end, I will look for explanations on Millennium's popularity amongst readers.
