I don't think it can be said enough that we all need role models when growing up. People who not only look like us, but inspire us to develop the skills and fortitude they embody.
Typically my role models were the characters in books. Yes, I was a fan of Nancy Drew because she was smart and a doer, meaning the person who thought of the plan and took action.
As a kid I remember feeling frustrated and angry that most movies revolved around men. If women were present, they were sex kittens, or were abused or killed to provide the male heroes with extra motivation to succeed in their quests.
So here's to the screenwriters and female actors who created formidable female characters! More of that, please!
