What is an Iconic Female Character?
What makes a woman unforgettable? Is it her looks, style, voice, love life, or else? Why are people like Carrie Bradshaw and Buffy Summers still relevant to this day?
In plain English, an iconic female character is a fictional personality that symbolizes a specific era and is loved and respected beyond her time. But what creates such a character is personality, motive, and development.
Personality
A woman is iconic when she has a relatable personality, exposing her good, bad, and ugly—without worrying about judgments. She might seem insecure at times, but she knows her worth and has self-respect. Her personality can be described as strong, independent, and inspirational.
Motive
Unlike what traditional media used to portray, an iconic female character is no longer defined by her lover. Her sole motive is not finding true love; she wants to thrive, explore, and experience.
Development
The path of a well-known woman is full of ups and downs. She puts in effort to better herself, knowing that the journey won’t be easy. She serves as a source of motivation for us to live our lives to the fullest, face our imperfections, and love ourselves for who we are.
Some Examples of Iconic Female Personalities
Who comes to mind when you think of inspirational women in books, songs, and movies? Is it a superhero like Wonder Woman, a seductive mistress like Cersei Lannister, or an adventurer queen of the road like Rosie (from The Wabash Cannonball song)?
Well, we have our own list of iconic females—that you may or may not agree with.
Daisy Buchanan
Daisy might not be the stereotypical good girl that literature used to describe. She has a complex personality, loose morals, and pure charm, which ultimately leads to a tragic end for her. But she’ll always be a trailblazing female icon who many young girls still relate to.
Rosie the Riveter
A cultural icon from the 1940s, Rosie is the face of girl power in the US. She used to be the symbol of working women who replaced men in intense jobs during the Second World War. But she’s still to this day an iconic character who reminds women that “they can do it!” (We love you, Rosie. 💖)
Holly Golightly
Wearing her imperfections on her sleeve, Holly Golightly symbolizes an independent woman who doesn’t let go of her femininity. Despite her charm and beauty, Holly struggles with her love life and insecurities. But what makes her iconic is that she never seeks validation by conforming to societal expectations.
Princess Leia Organa
Intelligent, brave, and kindhearted, Princess Leia is the role-model many girls need when they’re pushed back by the unfair challenges in society. She’s a natural leader who stands up for her people and fights against the scariest enemies without waiting for a man to show up and save her.
