Sixth Post
In my first post I said I will answer these questions
What are the differences between strong female leads of the past and now?
Why I think these characters are strong female leads?
How have events that were happening at the time of the airings?
How the writing has impacted the female lead?
How has the actress affect the female lead ?
How other characters affected the female lead?
Why I believe women ( young or old ) need a strong female lead in their life?
I think it's time to start answering.
for the question, What are the differences between strong female leads of the past and now?
The older TV strong leads ( /weak leads) were all about family and being a submissive motherly type. Then the movement of girl-power rained over TV in the 1990s and early 2000's and girls took a jump for being somewhat independent woman but still needed a man to women that while had a man was strong enough to not be the submissive but equal to the person.

The Gilmore Girls:
Rory appealed to young girls and Lorelai appealed to adult women, but
the whole show was a shout out to being an independent woman – and
setting high goals for yourself and working hard to achieve them. And
there were great love story plot lines thrown in the mix!
Ally McBeal: There was much more to
this show than a dancing baby! The theme of the show was that a woman
can be a successful professional and lead a fulfilling life without a
man – but dating can be a lot of fun too!
Joan of Arcadia: This well-written pre-Glee
teen drama incorporated religion without being preachy and also
embraced the idea of being quirky and unique rather than fitting in with
the other kids.
Malcolm In The Middle:
Sure, this show may have seemed like a run of the mill sit-com, but
think back on how awesome the mom on the show was. She was tough, and
her kids and her husband knew she was head of the household but there is so much more TV shows with Kicking butt girls
