No interesting female characters, my ass

[darkemeralds]

Do yourself and your heart and mind a favor, and go take a look at this wonderful post by copracat, featuring icons of strong female characters.

Then peruse the comments, where lots more awesome women characters are represented. It made my day.

The only person I haven't seen represented (and I can't believe I don't have an icon of her either) is Warrent Officer Ellen Ripley.

She kicks ALL the patriarchy.

[darkemeralds]

Good heavens. Could Ripley really be missing? That must be remedied stat!

[sporky_rat]

Or Sarah Conner from the original Terminator/Terminator 2.

[darkemeralds]

The iconic hard-ass female image of the 80s.

[sporky_rat]

Not the best Riply icon, but she'll do for now.

[darkemeralds]

Oh, lovely! Both of them look so...businesslike. \o/

(Are they up for sharing? I would love to use them, with credit.)

[sporky_rat]

Oh sure.

(When do they not businesslike?)

[darkemeralds]

Thanks!

And yeah, these women always mean business.
