Strong women, strong examples


I absolutely love a strong and fearless female character in movies. And I'm not just talking about women like Angelina Jolie in 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider', but strong women like Viola Davis in 'The Help' or Cate Blanchett in 'Elizabeth'. Strong women like Nani in 'Lilo & Stitch' and Natalie Portman in 'V for Vendetta'.



Strong women exist in lots of different forms. They can be anyone. And I feel throughout the years movies have been ables to show this more and more. And it's so important that this happens. We see strong male role models in almost every movie, but the female role models are less prominent.
Role models in movies are an important part of our society. People mirror themselves with characters they see in movies, or those characters are seen as goals. So it's important that movies give a wide spectrum of different characters that people can look up to. Luckily over the years, a wide variety of different role models for both males and females have been created.

I think we should celebrate ALL the female role models. Not just the heroes and diamond thieves. And what better way to celebrate them then to watch movies starring those women? So here's a list where you can find exactly that:


If you're still looking for a female role model this list should help you out. Beside that you can also click on the movies I named in the first paragraph of this post. Let's all enjoy powerful women! (oh and yes 90% of these women are stunning but what else would you expect in the movie industry?)
