Tina Fey, the woman is a comedic genius. Her recent book 'Bossypants' is brilliantly funny.
The personification of a strong and very talented woman.
Accordingly a lovely person too. Everyone who works with her praises both her work ethic and abilities as a writer/performer.
To quote Tina 'I want to go there'
First person who popped into my head when I saw the thread title was Madonna.
I have to also add Jennifer Lopez. I have a grudging respect for her choosing to dance rather than be a lawyer like her parents wanted and I admire her determination.
Dame Maggie Smith
JK Rowling
Ann Hathaway
Emma Stone
Tina Fey
Michelle Obama
Demi Lovato (to an extent; she's a young woman whose dealt with a lot of body image issues which I can strongly and very much relate to so perhaps that contributes to me thinking she's a strong person).
Judi Dench
Helena Bonham Carter
Catherine Tate
I'm sure I can think Iof more. There's a lot of fantastic women out there, unfortunately the media doesn't often focus on them.

Madonna

No way someone that says "If you like it should put a ring on it", shaking their bootie half naked should be allowed on this list.:mad::D
And Britney, and Burke, Alba:eek: why?
PJ Harvey is my choice, but i do not want her on a list with those people.:D
Kathleen Hanna, Lionel Shriver and Amanda Palmer get my vote also.
Adele (although her music does nothing for me)
Madge
Kathyrn Bigelow
Lynne Ramsay
Parker Posey
Catherine Keener
Catherine Breillat
Lena Dunham
Mindy Kaling
Miranda July

She does have to endure death threats and a lot of hate considering all she does is sing. She's very talented.
The lady who should be President of USA
She is just magnificent. Have been a fan since The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
Yes, she has come a long way. I do support Obama but I'd like to see her tackle that job too.
