In all honesty, there should probably be more than one International Women's Day a year--doesn't it seems odd that despite two whole millennia of civilization, around half of our population is glaringly underpaid and underrepresented when compared to the other half? Strong women are all around us, from mothers and friends who support us daily to the public figures who inspire us with their work. Sometimes, even fictional characters can be a source of strength and empowerment, but then again, that should come as no surprise to anyone who's ever enjoyed Jane Eyre.
It's maddening when television shows aren't realistic or relatable in their portrayals of women, but sometimes, either through stellar performances or sharp plot direction, the woman on screen really does become someone you can genuinely see as a sister to learn from. Here are some of the silver screen's strongest offerings right now:
Samantha Bee is one of TV’s strongest women because she’s fighting for all of us, not just herself. Through her innovative reporting formats, caustic humour and well-researched, watertight arguments, Bee is a champion of sanity and balancing anger with humour. The way she holds politicians accountable is rather masterful journalism, while her ability to identify the contexts that make her questions important is something that educates us without being patronizing.
