No one has mentioned Princess Leia. Does she qualify? She later became a general but I haven't seen that episode.
All the characters I recognize in this thread are primarily written by men. That can't be good. I haven't seen Barbie though.
That was my thought too. Princess Leia is a complete badass and my first time seeing a woman in that such a depiction on any screen.
On point number two, I mean that’s probably because most industries, especially media, have been dominated by males for decades and are just now having more female presence in the last decade in greater, more pronounced roles and numbers.
Well I mostly meant the characters themselves are male projections as a result. So they are effectively dudes with curves a lot of the time. I'm having trouble thinking of exceptions who aren't caretaker types like Deanna Troi. I probably don't read enough contemporary fiction.
