Emma Thompson & Kathryn Bigelow
Both are smarter and more talented than me.

Being the son of a single mum, having a wife in law enforcement (so tough she could rust) and a daughter which never ceases to amaze me. I do appreciate these days as a time to celebrate part of our community.
I also lament that we need it.

OMG, LINDA -EFFING- HAMILTON! Thank you for the reminder, Maurice Vaughan !She was my silver screen goddess growing up! Seeing her do pull-ups on her over-turned bedframe secured her in my memory as such, forever and always. Her and Angela Bassett. I just loved seeing women who showed physical strength was not a sign of "butchness", and similarly love to see depth to lesbian characters who are more than just "lipstick" or "butch". Orange Is the New Black was such a great example of this. Hell, Lena Waithe in Master of None is a great example of this.

Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson, Ava DuVernay and Nina Menkes (Her documentary Brainwashed: Camera-Sex-Power on the gendered language of film blew my mind https://www.berlinale.de/en/programme/programme/detail.html?film_id=2022...)

You're welcome, Karen "Kay" Ross. I think the all-time top action heroine is Linda Hamilton or Sigourney Weaver. Milla Jovovich and Scarlett Johansson are also up there as top action heroines.
