I would have included Hermione Granger over Katniss, just because I'm a life long HP fan. I love Hunger Games too, but if I had to choose. <br /><br />-Lauren<br />www.shootingstarsmag.blogspot.com<br />Shooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-86911631484530204952017-01-25T20:29:23.488-05:002017-01-25T20:29:23.488-05:00Thank you!

She was a tomboy who was straddling into wanting to be recognized as a girl...not just one of the guys. She was sassy and tough. I loved her. <br />Olivia Benson is indeed awesome for all the reasons you describe. <br />And, yes! to Willowdean.Erin of TexErin-in-SydneyLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744003004126232764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-31671257684177626342017-01-24T02:14:18.416-05:002017-01-24T02:14:18.416-05:00better late than never! thanks for joining us. i w...better late than never! thanks for joining us. i was excited to see that you'd done so!<br /><br />this is a good list, lady. i have been wanting to see hidden figures for months. perhaps tomorrow...<br /><br />and idgie! definitely. she is a badass. i love how clever and courageous she is. and so in touch with who she is. when i'd started making my list, she was on it, but she was one of two gals on there, and i was super pressed for time (i'd forgotten to get my post ready before going on vacation and did it in haste tuesday morning), so i limited my post to men.<br /><br />so... eight chicks (and since you already know i love idgie, i'm not going to use her here, and yeah, i know that's kind of cheating...)<br /><br />from film:<br />one. nawal marwan played by lubna azabal in the foreign film incendies. it's hard to watch. really, really hard to watch. it's the sort of story that will stick with you, and well. but she's the strongest character i've seen in film to date. hands down.<br />two. princess leia played by carrie fisher in the star wars franchise. because she loses EVERYTHING, really--her father, her brother, her lover, her son. and still manages to rise to the rank of general and lead her people well.<br />three. celia foote played by jessica chastain in the help. i know. i know. most folks would say i should be saying aibileen, and yeah, i LOVE her. but celia's got a different kind of strength that i don't think gets the due it deserves. my god that gal's tenacious and resilient and sweet despite all the bullshit she's endured, by women she'd hoped to have as friends, allies, women who saw her as insignificant as their nannies and housekeepers. and for her to hire minny jackson when she knew damned well it would add further marks to her reputation. i'm in awe of this gal.<br />four. m'lynne eatenton played by sally field in steel magnolias. i've heard gals say they love ouisa and clairee, and yeah, they're pretty badass. but i gotta go with m'lynne on this one. she's too much like my mother. and i'm too much like shelby. and i know raising a headstrong daughter who has a very different outlook on life must be a pain in the ass, especially when her husband drum's the way he is. can you imagine what that house must've been like? i can. really well.<br /><br />television<br />five. abbey bartlet played by stockard channing on the west wing. who else could handle a man like jed? nobody but NOBODY.<br />six. miranda bailey played by chandra wilson on grey's anatomy. meredith annoyed the HELL out of me. in fact, i couldn't stand most of the gals on this program, but bailey... i LOVED her SO much. she could be SUCH a bitch but was SO, SO soft in the center.<br />seven. arya stark played by maisie williams on game of thrones. because that scrap of a gal has grown into a pretty impressive force with whom to be reckoned. i would NOT want to be on her bad side.<br />eight. joan watson played by lucy liu on elementary. because being friends and colleagues with and maintaing a respect for a guy as idiosyncratic and difficult as jonny miller's sherlock can't be easy.jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148220405743339501noreply@blogger.com
