With March 8th being International Women’s Day, this month was the perfect time to honor amazing women who set an example and who empower others to break through that “glass ceiling.” Raising a daughter, it has always been important to me that her goals and dreams not be limited by her gender. That also meant finding entertainment with intelligent, capable females. These kinds of TV shows and movies can also help young boys learn to respect and value the girls around them.

### International Women’s Day & Beyond

Netflix is fully behind the message of International Women’s Day and offers many shows which celebrate girl power. Check out this collection of shows with girls and women who are anything but “damsels in distress.”

### Streaming Strong Female Characters

Here are some characters that your daughters might relate to:
