Fun one... I always loved Angelina Jolie. She's got her own sense of style, she's very much her own person, devoted to her kids and she does loads for charity. She's different to others and I like that.

My more serious one has always been Boudica. The Romans destroyed her tribes way of life, flogged her and *** her daughters... she lead her tribe rebelling against them. She had some successes but they lost overall. I've always admired that she stood for what she believed in, and lead a group of men in a patriarchal society.

I like Luz from The Owl House. :)

It's a very sweet coming-of-age show, about fitting in and finding your family without changing who you are.

One woman I admire is Dolly Parton, I'm not keen on her music or films (although joleen is probably one of the best songs ever) but the fact she grew up dirt poor, didn't give in to signing away her publishing rights, doesn't give a fuck about comments regarding her appearance, has created loads of jobs in a deprived area via Dollywood, supports gay rights, and helps kids access books all over the world

She seems a like decent person

Oh man. For TV characters there are a bunch. Xena, Buffy, Kira Nerys...I love strong women. And Donna Noble - strong in a different way, likeable and annoying and relatable. Dana Scully for being smart and skeptical.

For real people, I guess I think Marie Curie was pretty badass. Physicist, chemist, female scientist in a time when women were pretty much never taken seriously. Her research into radioactivity revolutionized so much of science and medicine and she did it in the face of soooo much misogyny and xenophobia. She seems like such an interesting woman.

Caroline Herschel's story resonates with me for some reason.

Something about how little was expected or desired of her, but she kept plugging at things and learning, and excelled. She was short and scarred and disabled but damn she found some cool stuff. There are periods in her life when she was just like "i don't want to be here or do this" but she just kept making the best of it.
