11 feminist icons from your favourite childhood cartoons
1. Debbie Thornberry
Remember the episode where these Aussie lads tried to tell her she couldn’t surf because she wasn’t strong enough? And assumed she knew nothing about repairing surfboards?
Think again, pals.
2. Charlotte Pickles
3. Lois Fotley (from As Told By Ginger)
*Independent Women plays softly in the background*
4. Alden Jones (from Brace Face)
When Sharon got her period on their first date, Alden did the only correct thing by not shaming her about it or making her feel awkward.
Good lad.
5. Patti Mayonaise (from Doug)
My gal Patti was up here running rings around LeBron.
6. Pepper Ann
You bet your ass Pepper Ann was ‘with her’. We won’t speculate as to what her reaction to a Trump administration would be.

7. Helga Pataki
Is a man making you uncomfortable? Dig him in the head.
8. Daria
Because no list would be complete without here, really. Some gal to curse out a cat-caller.
9. Sandy Cheeks (from Spongebob)
Astronaut, inventor, single by choice, insanely ripped … Will I go on?
10. Cindy Vortex (from Jimmy Neutron)
The series depicts Cindy as a mean girl when in reality she is struggling with the frustration of being compared to Jimmy while not being able to measure up, probably because she is a girl and girls aren’t typically supposed to be “smart.”
11. Wanda (from FairlyOdd Parents)
In the episode Shelf Life, where Timmy Turner went to the library with Cosmo and Wanda, Wanda announces she’s going to the “Women are so much better than men” section.
Wanda loves supporting female lit, pass it on.
