Fictional women of awesome

[black_eyedgirl]

I think this was probably from scrollgirl at one point. But I'm watching Studio 60 right now, and while there are many things I love about the show, its treatment of its women is so far from one of them. Not its women characters, but what the show does to them. So I thought I'd try and finish this post. I guess it may kind of be a ' fuck you, she's awesome'

Half of these women I don't know, but the ones I do? YES. A hundred thousand times yes.

[black_eyedgirl]

:D I know, right? (And yeah, I was going for some breadth there, so my list may not overlap a great deal with anyone else's...)

Strange. I think I like Hermione now. :)

[black_eyedgirl]

:) Aw, I almost always love Hermione. You know, as a bookish, socially awkward 11yo who (hopefully) grew out of it a little ;)

I want to do one of my own now (and I love that you like the Circle books. Because I love those *grins*)

[black_eyedgirl]

*g* I am feeling very strongly tempted to go reread them now, actually. Comforting books. And I'm glad the list was inspiring! Go make!

I love this, there should be so much more like this, thank you for writing it!

[black_eyedgirl]

:) I'm glad you liked it - I feel guilty that I don't make more lists like this actually! (And, oh, pretty Lena Headey)
