To afford this, Fantine first works as a low-income factory worker where she had little recourse against her boss, who constantly sexually harassed her. In exchange, Fantine pays the Thénardiers a good portion of her wages for living expenses. She asks the Thénardiers to take care of her daughter since a married couple taking care of Cosette would give Cosette better opportunities in life than if she lived with Fantine. She was a single mother in a time when single mothers were considered pariahs (sadly not much has changed) but, despite this, Fantine manages to make do. But if you think that, then you need to reconsider what qualities makes a strong woman because, in my eyes, Fantine is one of the best. She may not shoot a bow and arrow, but she is definitely one of the strongest female characters out there.Ĭonsidering how beaten and broken Fantine is by the time she dies, you might think she shouldn’t be on this list. Chuck is not afraid to stand up for herself and make her own way in her life. She works at Ned’s pie shop and insists on turning Emerson and Ned’s crime-solving duo into a trio, despite their objections. Furthermore, Chuck, who was often cloistered away at home by her aunts, is now determined to live her life. Ned tries to prevent Chuck from going out into the world after her resurrection, but Chuck refuses to let the boys solve her murder without her. She is Ned’s first love who was murdered on a cruise, but brought back to life by Ned. Chuck helps her male cohorts, Ned and Emerson, solve murders.
CUSTOMIZED GIRLS FIGHT KICKASS TV
Charlotte “Chuck” Charles ( Pushing Daisies)Ĭhuck, from the short-lived but excellent TV show Pushing Daisies, is a fantastic heroine who saves the day without having to throw a literal punch. Morticia wields power and authority, all while looking fabulous.Ģ. Furthermore, she is the one who decides to go to Fester to convince him to reconcile with Gomez and is ultimately the one who discovers the plot to steal the Addams family fortune that is being planned by Fester’s adopted mother and the family lawyer, Tully. It’s Morticia who rallies the family and financially supports Gomez while he is trapped in this depression. In the first Addams Family movie, Gomez falls into depression after his brother, Fester, takes everything from them and kicks them out of their family home. Morticia is always effortlessly beautiful, and despite Gomez being the patriarch of the household, Morticia is clearly the one who runs the show. One of my life goals is to be Morticia Addams-or at least for my love life to be something like hers.
So in no particular order, I’ve compiled a list of my top five female characters who kick ass without literally kicking ass.
Sadly, trends seem to lean towards having female characters that are fighters in order to prove their badassery.
We need lady characters who kick literal and metaphorical butt.
