What TV shows and movies led by women Or with females in the leads do you think have had the most cultural impact?
The original 70s Wonder Woman comes to mind. Also Xena in the 90s. The Wonder Woman movie totally. I also think Lois Lane in most live action versions has shown what a professional woman can do. I suppose Buffy too, though I never watched enough of it. I'm sure I'm forgetting plenty. Captain Janeway from Star Trek is another standout. The Mary Tyler Moore show is another iconic show.

The first one that comes to mind is Buffy. ^^^ Sigourney Weaver is a good one. Then most recently Wonder Woman. Its was huge budget Female led and directed movie that woulda made 1bil if it played in China.

Rachel from Friends, there was a haircut named after her. That's about as close to godhood as you can be in tv world.
