Any positive female role models characters on tv, comic books or movies?
The role model does not have to be from this generation, but she has to be smart, independent, not relaying on men, brave, etc.
I already know about:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, CatWoman, Batgirl,BatWoman,Charlie's Angels, Wonder Woman, GoGirl, Nancy Drew, Nikita, Veronica Mars and Xena: Warrior Princess.
Therefore i need new names. Thanks, in advance

Echo - Dollhouse (After the first season when she actually she becomes a person and the mind-wiping no longer works on her.

Kara Thrace aka Starbuck - Battlestar Glactica (2004) Dana Scully - The X-Files Kaylee Frye - Firefly Zoe Washburne - Firefly Inara Serra - Firefly River Tam - Firefly Trinity - The Matrix Sarah Jane Smith - Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures Emma Swan - Once Upon a Time Mary Margaret Blanchard/Snow White - Once Upon a Time River Song - Dr. Who I'm sure there's more I'm missing. Pretty much any women created by Joss Whedon or Steven Moffat is going to fit into this category. I can already tell the new companion Moffat's going to introduce to Dr. Who is going to the fit the category by the little bit we got to know her in the first episode of season 7.
