<\/p>\nIn honour of International Women\u2019s Day, we\u2019re looking at the ladies who have graced our screens. The ones who have become roles models for us, and the girls who we just love to spend time with \u201d\u201c even if we\u2019ve seen their shows a hundred times. Without further ado, take some inspiration in these wonderful women!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Leslie Knope<\/strong> Samantha Jones<\/strong> Rachel Green<\/strong> Kimmy Schmidt<\/strong> Mindy Lahiri Arya Stark<\/strong> Shoshanna Shapiro<\/strong> Tasha \u201d\u02dcTaystee\u2019 Jefferson<\/strong> Buffy Summers<\/strong><\/p>\n Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/i> Denise<\/strong> We\u2019re lucky to have so many great women on TV to look up to!

\nParks and Recreation<\/i>
\nIf you\u2019re a fan of American comedies, you\u2019ll be well versed in the workings of Ms. Knope. The shining star of Parks and Recreation<\/em>, Leslie Knope works tirelessly in the Parks and Rec. department of her hometown of Pawnee, Indiana. She loves her job and cares for where she lives \u201d\u201c even when others don\u2019t share her enthusiasm. She adores her friends endlessly (she coined Galentine\u2019s Day!) and works her butt off to fulfil her dreams. She\u2019s also right on the money when it comes to waffles.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n<\/h3>\n
\nSex and the City<\/i>
\nOkay, hear us out. It\u2019s very easy to pick main character Carrie Bradshaw, but Samantha inspires us in a deeper way. She\u2019s true to herself unapologetically, and won\u2019t bow down to what society expects of her. She\u2019s very successful in public relations, outspoken and insanely confident. Fairweather fans may find a way to judge Samantha for her frequent flings, but that\u2019s reductive. She\u2019s the strongest character of the four Sex and the City<\/em> girls; overcoming a cancer battle and taking a backseat as to not upstage one of her best friends on their wedding day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\nFriends<\/i>
\nMonica\u2019s obsessive, Phoebe is kooky and Rachel is the pretty one. Right? Wrong. Rachel bursts in on the gang in the pilot episode after running away from her wedding. Not a great start, but we viewers have the pleasure of watching her grown into a fully-fledged adult. She\u2019d been reliant on her father and then her fianc\u00c3\u00a9e; so, she didn\u2019t have her own voice until she broke away from that. She starts from the bottom with a waitressing job but works her way well into the world of fashion. She stands on her own two feet despite how difficult it is, and we applaud her for that.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n
\nUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidt<\/i>
\nLiving in a bunker for 10 years against your will would break anyone\u2019s spirit \u201d\u201c but not Kimmy Schmidt. She takes it all in her stride; she moves to New York to start her new life, gets her first job and learns that the world has moved in considerably since she\u2019s been hidden away. She works for her GED and although she\u2019s missed out on many experiences, makes up for lost time. Her can-do attitude and optimism is infectious. The theme song doesn\u2019t lie; this female is strong as hell.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Mindy Project<\/i>
\nMindy Kaling first graced our screens in The Office<\/em> as Kelly Kapoor. Before we said goodbye to Kelly, we were introduced to Mindy Lahiri. The star of The Mindy Project<\/em>, Mindy is an OBGYN doctor, living and working in New York City. She lives a hectic life trying to balance work, a love life and a full schedule of reality TV. Mindy is like the grown up, polished version of Kelly \u201d\u201c we get to keep all the things we love about her! Mindy Kaling helped to bring a face and voice to minority actresses with Lahiri;\u00a0a character based on her own mother.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n
\nGame of Thrones<\/i>
\nWe could band a number of characters in this show together because we\u2019re given so many amazing ladies to look up to. After much deliberation, we\u2019ve settled on the youngest Stark sister, Arya. Whilst Sansa has her head in the clouds over becoming Mrs Joffrey Baratheon, Arya learns how to fight \u201d\u201c and fight she does. Her list of enemies grows; she\u2019s hellbent on ending their lives, and she might just succeed. She learns some tough lessons along the way but boy, does she savour her revenge. In a show where favourite characters lose their lives frequently, we breath a sign of relief knowing Ms Stark has made it to the bitter end (or so we hope\u201d\u00a6)<\/p>\n
\n![\"shosh\"](\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shosh.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nGirls<\/i>
\nThe most na\u00c3\u00afve of the girls we meet in Lena Dunham\u2019s real and relatable comedy, Shoshanna has a number of moments of self-actualisation throughout the six seasons of the show. When we first meet Shoshanna, she\u2019s a shy, self-conscious virgin clearly living in her cousin\u2019s shadow. By the time we part ways with her, she has upped and moved to Japan, graduated from college and made tough personal choices for her own good. Her growth is what inspires us; if it scares you, you should go for it and cut off those toxic people in your life. Buy kitschy jewellery and Be More Shosh.<\/p>\n
\n![\"taystee\"](\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Taystee.png\")
<\/h3>\n
\nOrange is the New Black<\/i>
\nTaystee is one of the bravest characters in Litchfield Prison; she is far-removed from what is considered to be a prison inmate. She fights for what she believes in, works hard in her prison roles and stands up for her group of friends. During an altercation with prison guards, Taystee\u2019s best friend Poussey is\u00a0killed in front of her \u201d\u201c and Taystee will go to great lengths to ensure P\u2019s memory is honoured, and justice is served. She\u2019s quick-witted, brainy, and exudes passion.<\/p>\n
\n![\"buffy\"](\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Buffy.jpg\")
<\/h3>\n
\nWhen we first meet Buffy, she just wants to lead a normal life \u201d\u201c which is almost impossible as she\u2019s in a line of \u201d\u02dcVampire Slayers\u2019. She has to fend off evil spirits, and is a certified badass. Along with her quirky group of friends, The Scooby Gang, Buffy will continue to slay the demons in front of her, alongside attending high school. Sarah Michelle Gellar catapulted into fame after this role, which she\u2019s still well-loved for to this day \u201d\u201c almost 21 years after we were introduced Buffy.<\/p>\n
\n![\"lena-waithe\"](\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Lena-Waithe.jpeg\")
<\/h3>\n
\nMaster of None<\/i>
\nAziz Ansari\u2019s comedy was a huge hit; with a diverse cast, brilliant writing and stunning cinematography. It gave us some great characters but our best-loved is Dev\u2019s best friend Denise. Her shining moment arrives in the second season, as we see her experiences with Thanksgiving. Dev celebrates with Denise\u2019s family \u201d\u201c we see Denise grow up, discovering her sexuality, coming out to her mother and bringing her girlfriend home. Lena Waithe\u2019s portrayal was raw and honest; she would go on to win the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Season for the episode (alongside Ansari), becoming the first black woman to do so.<\/p>\n
