These characters were the mothers, FBI agents, detectives, superheroes and typical teens who inspired us to be a influential woman in the real world.
- Xena Warrior Princess
In a world full of warlords and Gods, Xena Warrior Princess fought for the greater good.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Not only did Buffy deal with typical teenage drama but also saved the world daily from vampires and demons.
- Jill Taylor
Being the only woman in a house of three sons and her childlike husband, Jill Taylor taught us just how strong a working mom could be.
- Olivia Benson
Detective Benson proved to women that even though she got emotionally involved in the most horrific cases, she always caught the bad guy.
- Dana Scully
This FBI character inspired many women to pursue careers in science, medicine and law enforcement which increased the number of women in those fields.
