The problem is, time travelling butch cyborg lady knight.

Well. Here we go. Here’s my new thing. It’s not what I wanted but I’ll make do.

Celebrating International Women’s Day this year, I thought I’d just give a shout-out to some more of the awesome ladies who I can’t stop thinking about. Both fictional and real, new and longterm, these woman live rent free in my head and I think they’re just fantastic.

BOBBIE DRAPER, the tough-as-hell Mars Navy marine corps gunnery sergeant who DOMINATES my favourite literary sci-fi series, The Expanse, from author duo James S.A. Corey. Essentially EMBODIES badassery for me. Wonderfully played by the phenomenal Frankie Adams in the TV series adaptation.

CHRISTINA HODSON, rising star screenwriter. After breaking onto the scene with her game-changing script for Bumblebee (the film that FINALLY brought the live-action Transformers movies some genuine quality), she’s now helping craft some of the best new stuff for the DCEU (Birds of Prey & the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, The Flash, Batgirl), and she’s still just GETTING STARTED ...

CAITLYN KIRAMMAN & VI, from Netflix’ Arcane. (Voiced by Katie Leung and Hailee Steinfeld) This show is just BURSTING with phenomenally well-written characters, but the two characters I am BY FAR the most invested in are these two. Along with ...

JINX, also from Netflix’ Arcane. (Voice by Ella Purnell) Vi’s sister, and one of the most spectacularly chaotic characters I’ve ever come across.

LUPITA NYONG’O, one of the most exciting and incredible “new” actors I’ve come across in quite some time, I’ve been watching her developing career with great interest these past ten years. Thee days best known for Jordan Peele’s Us and the MCU’s Black Panther, but she’s also amazing in 12 Years A Slave (which won her a best supporting actress Oscar), Star Wars, Little Monsters and, currently, The 355.

JESSICA CHASTAIN, Lupita’s co-star in The 355, but she’s also already been on my radar for a while thanks to the likes of It Chapter 2, Zero Dark Thirty, Ava, Miss Sloane, Molly’s Game, The Martian and Take Shelter.

FERRO MALJINN, one of the rich ensemble of main protagonists from The First Law trilogy by one of my very favourite authors of all time, Joe Abercrombie. A spiky, moody, foul-mouthed and thoroughly vicious little fighter who remains unrepentantly immune to character development throughout the entire trilogy, and I love her for it.

NADJA OF ANTIPAXOS, from the FX’s What We Do In the Shadows. (Played by Natasia Demetriou) One of the lead quartet of vampires in the show, and the only person in the show capable of stealing scenes from Matt Berry’s irrepressible Laszlo ...

ZOE KRAVITZ, one of my favourite actors out there right now. Currently setting the world alight as THE BEST SELINA KYLE/CATWOMAN EVER, but I’ve been a fan since she was in X-Men: First Class, and she’s also great in High Fidelity, the Divergent series, Fantastic Beasts: the Crimes of Grindelwald, Mad Max: Fury Road, Dope and, most recently, Kimi.

HARLEY QUINN, one of my very favourite ever agents of chaos. At her very best brought to life by Margot Robbie in the DCEU, particularly in Birds of Prey and James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Irreverent, irrepressible, irresponsible and irresistable ...

LADY SHIVA, the deadliest woman in the world according to the DC Universe, and one of the only people that Batman genuinely fears. Sadly, she has yet to be truly realised in live action, but if she ever is I think it’s a crime if she’s not played by Michelle Yeoh ...

GRACE, from Terminator: Dark Fate. (Played by Mackenzie Davies) A cybernatically-enhance supersoldier sent back from the future to protect the latest target of a dark machine-driven future, fully capable of wiping out a Terminator in hand-to-hand combat and the only person I’ve ever seen stand up to Sarah Connor ...

SHOHREH AGHDASHLOO, an incredible actress you’ve probably since in a whole bunch of pretty heavyweight stuff, although for a while now she’s been the living embodiment of take-no-shit boss lady maximum intimidation as Krisjen Avasarala, the deliciously foul-mouthed UN secretary general in the TV adaptation of The Expanse.

CLEO CAZO/RATCATCHER 2, from The Suicide Squad. (Played by Daniela Melchior) My biggest takeaway from the movie was this adorable reluctant “hero” with the ability to control rats, who burrowed effortlessly into my heart last summer ...

GRANNY WEATHERWAX, one of the best and most enduring creators of the late master of fantasy literature, Terry Pratchett. One of the indomitable Lancre Witches, the level-headed people-shepherds who ply their dilligent trade in Pratchett’s legendary Discworld, she’s one of the most stoic and immovably forthright characters in literature. Whenever I find myself baffled by a moral quandary, I’ll simply asks myself: “What would Granny Weatherwax do?”

LEIA ORGANA/SKYWALKER, the undeniable QUEEN of the Star Wars Universe, brought to splendid, empowering and truly immortal life by the indomitable Carrie Fisher. Forget all those other Disney princesses, this is the only one I’ve ever needed ...
