Whether it’s a comedy, fantasy, drama, telenovela, or any other genre, there is no doubt that TV shows have produced their fair share of fantastic female characters. Even before feminism was “trendy” like it is today, producers and writers were showing great examples of female characters who represent women, equality, and power. Here are a few of the great lessons they taught us.
1. When Meredith taught Zola from her early years that men can’t handle women with power.
2. When Meredith stood up for April and her choice to marry a virgin (which, we all know, didn’t happen, but still).
3. When Xiomara was unapologetic about her choices.
4. When Lorelai inspired Rory to be whoever she wanted to be.
5. When Paris delivered what, in a nutshell, should inspire every woman to be her best self.
6. When Blair knew her self-worth and didn’t let anything get in the way of her loving herself.
7. When Blair didn’t allow anyone to treat her as anything less than the wonderful woman she is.
8. When Blair shared her wisdom with the world.
9. When the Mother of Dragons knew the power of being a woman.
10. When Rachel delivered the most iconic line in the history of television.
