TL;DR Summary

Pippi Longstocking was created by Astrid Lindgren during WWII as a symbol of independence and kindness, serving as an antidote to Nazi ideology, inspired by Lindgren's anti-Nazi sentiments and her desire to promote resilience and free-thinking in children. The character's cheerful individualism was a response to the dark times of the war, and her legacy continues to celebrate these values.
