I don’t necessarily think a heroine has to literally be out there with flying fists to be an incredible kick-ass heroine. Anna Wren from Elizabeth Hoyt’s The Raven Prince is a bit of a kick-ass heroine without ever throwing a punch (at least I don’t recall that she does ;)) She challenges gender restrictions without ever putting on trousers, but by picking up a pen and later, putting on a mask 😀

That cover for Dark Lotus is lovely, Fiona! Did you create this one?

Is it sad to admit I still rewatch Buffy every year of so? Its almost like a comfort zone for me:) I never got into Angel funny enough – maybe because they didn’t have a strong female protagonist?

I loved Max! I was also really sad when the show was canceled – why do they end good shows early?

@Sidney, I think I am just catching the end of your pricked party 🙂 I’ll have to go back now and read through your other guests.

Much success to both of you!

Melinda

I was a fan of Buffy/Faith, but I was so obsessed with Dark Angel when it first came out that my friends were jokingly calling me Max — they even signed notes to me in my yearbook addressing me as such!

I was so sad when the show was cancelled…and the way it ended. UGH.

Anyway. Great list! Definitely some super tough and awesome chicks.
