Several posts in the SF/F corner of the internet this morning on the topic of Women in Refrigerators.

Marie Brennan talks about it here, discussing the concept of women having agency, that is, taking action as independent people.

kateelliott has a related post here, wherein she discusses one of the most notable movies in SF wherein a woman is an action hero

Oh, you know you know the perfect example. You saw it with me. Deathproof. Zoe Bell and her pals kicking Kurt Russell's butt. And ribs. And head. And all the rest of his bodily parts.

Heck, even Planet Terror qualifies quite well!

Sure, but I didn't like Planet Terror all that much, whereas I've seen Deathproof at least 10 times. :-)
