Happy international womens day. there is so much I could say about the terrible a lack of rights for women and the violence against us and substacks lack of protection for us, but instead today I am choosing to share the female characters who had a MASSIVE impact on me as a child. because I don’t think words would be sufficient enough, and we deserve to spend the day celebrating each other.
Princess Leia was my icon, and I still want to be her. I have always wanted Daphnes confidence and spunk. Though she was not my favorite of the cast as a child, Strawberry shortcake has become an icon of whimsy for me as an adult. Madeline Hatter made me feel like it was ok to be weird and eccentric.
