8 Netflix Shows With Fierce Female Characters
Elle

I don’t know about you, but I love to watch shows that make me think "Sh*t, I want to her that girl when I grow up." Whether it’s being a bada** lawyer, trying to bounce back from a divorce or just kicking life’s butt even in hard times — these leading ladies are always killin’ the game.

1. How to Get Away with Murder

Let’s face it Viola Davis is a fabulous actress and you just have to Annalise Keating even when she pisses you off.

2. Scandal

Olivia Pope's crisis management firm, Olivia Pope and Associates may or may not have committed a crime here and there, but Olivia’s connections are goals.

3. Weeds

For 8 seasons, Nancy Botwin finesses her way through her sh*t show of a life.

4. Quantico

Alex Parrish making her way through boot camp as a promising FBI recruit.

5. Love

I haven’t seen the second season of this Netflix Orginal because I’m a fake fan, but you’ll love this show from the first episode. You’ll also hate it because you’ll think about why the heckie can’t people just be happy in a relationship together.

6. Revenge

This is one of my all-time favorite shows — Emily Thorne and Victoria Grayson aren’t really gals I’d like to mess with.

7. Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce

After Abby McCarthy’s separation from her husband, the self-help author writes about people with family issues while juggling her own struggles and family life.

8. Girlboss

You’ll love this Netflix Orginal based on the creation of the fashion empire Nasty Gal, inspired by Sophia Amoruso's best-selling book.

If you’re going to watch Netflix all summer, why not watch shows with fierce female leads?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
