As a celebratory end to Women’s History Month, we’re compiling a list of our favorite powerful female leads from TV!
With Women’s History Month coming to an end, we want to celebrate some amazing on-screen female characters who inspire television fans to be the best versions of themselves. Keep on reading to feel inspired by these powerful female leads in current TV shows!
Miriam “Midge” Maisel from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Throughout the series, Midge’s goal is to flip the script for women in comedy in the late 1950’s to early 1960’s, and fans would agree that she is doing a pretty damn good job. It’s impossible to watch Mrs. Maisel without feeling empowered to copy Midge’s strength and confidence, both on and off-stage.

Leslie Bennett from Euphoria
As arguably one of the strongest moms on TV right now, Leslie Bennett portrays the difficulty of being a hard-working, single mother to two young girls struggling through their adolescence. If Euphoria ever has a Mother’s Day episode, we would hope to see daughters Rue and Gia give their mom some credit!

Catherine from The Great
This historical dramedy is a great example of a politically powerful female lead – after all, Catherine is the longest-reigning female leader of Russia. Her wit and humor is irresistibly entertaining.

Eve from Killing Eve
Like Olivia Benson, Eve is another inspirational woman fighting crime. Eve’s boldness and courage make her difficult job look easy, yet she is always striving to learn more and get better at her job.
