Feminists

"I'm at the top of my game, I wanna play with the big dogs! Girls, come on! Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so!"

- Elastigirl in her interview. Once upon a time, there were helpless damsels waiting for handsome men to come to their rescue. Nowadays, stories tell of strong women managing well without Prince Charming's help and standing up for their rights.

One of the very few heroines who can actually exist, Feminists are the poster girls for modern heroines. The heroic foil of misogynists, these are heroines who believe in the idea of feminism. In other words, they have a strong passion for women's rights and participate in these movements, even though they also acknowledge those of their male counterparts. Feminists can also go against sexist stereotypes.

Male heroes can be feminists too, as they respect women for their capabilities.

Whether they're dealing with misogyny or giving other females the opportunity to take charge of their own life, these are the leading ladies who prove that women have as much capabilities as their male counterparts.
