<3 geena davis <3
Geena Davis played one of my actual favorite lady action heroes ever-- Morgan in Cutthroat Island. (She is tied at the top, I think, with Alice from Resident Evil.) So I am tremendously pleased to discover that she is also a hero IN REAL LIFE.
I yearn for the day when I can share with my daughter a tale of “the way things used to be,” of days when women held lesser positions in the world than men. And my daughter, living in a world where all girls and women are seen as important, respected and fully valued members of society - a world of gender equality - will turn to me and say, “Oh, Mom, that's just a fairy tale.”
I want to meet her and give her lots of hugs, only that might be creepy.
