Redditors Debate the Best Strong Female Protagonist. And the Answers Are Surprising

Reddit user ska2oosh posed a question that's been debated in countless online forums: "Who is a strong female protagonist done right?" And as usual, Reddit delivered with a mix of the expected staples and some pleasantly surprising choices. Of course, Princess Leia and Ellen Ripley made the list—because what's a conversation about iconic women in fiction without mentioning the Rebel leader and the Xenomorph slayer? But this thread went deeper, shining a spotlight on some unsung heroines and unconventional picks.

Marge Gunderson from Fargo charmed her way into the discussion with her quiet brilliance and unshakable resolve. Princess Fiona got a nod for embracing her inner ogre (literally). Elle Woods proved that you don't have to trade femininity for strength, and President Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica reminded us that being a leader in a crisis is no small feat. So enjoy this Reddit-powered list of badass women who redefine what it means to be strong.
