Wonder Women: Some Of My Favorite Badass Fictional Female Characters

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite badass fictional female characters into the ol’ VCR.

Unlike some tech companies I could mention, we believe in International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month here at B Movies. 

In addition to discussing some badass real women, I wanted to talk about some badass fictional female characters that I grew up watching and probably shaped me. 

These badass ladies are ass-kickin’, independent women who might not be perfect, but, for the most part, aren’t portrayed as damsels in distress. 

I’ll admit that it was a little hard to stop the list at 10, so another edition of Wonder Women might be coming your way soon. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite badass fictional female characters. 

Buffy Summers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Ellen Ripley from the Alien series 

Violet Newstead from 9 to 5

Sarah Connor from the Terminator series 

Jane Lane from Daria 

Peggy Hill from King of the Hill 

Beatrix Kiddo aka The Bride aka Black Mamba from Kill Bill: Volume 1 & Volume 2

Rebecca Buck from Tank Girl

Clarice Starling from The Silence of the Lambs (and, technically, the Lecterverse

Olivia Benson from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
