Who do you think of when you hear, Top 5 TOUGH female movie characters in cinema? Here are mine. Would love to know yours…
Hard Candy’s Ellen Page
Hayley Stark seeks revenge… a vigilante in her own right. Warning: This is a tough movie to watch.
Underworld’s Kate Beckinsale
Selene of the Underworld, is a strong force to reckon with. She’s not a deadly machine, without cause. She strictly acts to help protect the very essence of her coven.
The Hunger Games Jennifer Lawrence
Katniss Everdeen of District 12 is a poised fierceness that is both a protector and a warrior for her people.
Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’s Rooney Mara
Lisbeth Salander of Stieg Larsson’s creation in “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” is a thought provoking survivalist. A modern fermale protagonist that projects a great internal human strength.
Whale Rider’s Keisha Castle-Hughes
Paikea (Pai) is a beautiful child, whom by custom is not allowed to inherit the leadership of her culture’s tribe because of her gender. Through her strength of personality and love, she is able to tear down these walls and bring about change.

Fantastic post! Got me thinking of my favorite movie heroines….but you’ve already covered my recent favorite: Katniss Everdeen!
It was a bit challenging, but I really enjoyed writing this post. I’d love to hear/know what your list looks like at some point when you have it and if you’d be willing to share it. Thanks for reading and commenting, as I greatly appreciate it. It means a lot.
You’re so welcome! I’m happy when I can be in dialogue with fellow bloggers 🙂
Zoe Bell in “Death Proof”! Also Kim (Tracie Thomas) in same.
Laurie Jupiter in “Watchmen” holds her own.
Karen Walden (Meg Ryan) in Courage Under Fire.
Perhaps Celie Johnson (Whoopi Goldberg) in Color Purple.
Gotta agree with you on Beckinsale, of course!
