I thought I'd start a thread about people's heroines when they were growing up - both real and fictional, likely and unlikely, to see who crops up.
For me it was:
Amelia Earhart (the aviator)
Dr Ruth Gipps (crazy old composer and conductor)
Kate Jackson (Sabrina from the original Charlie's Angels)
Suzi Quatro
Halo Jones (from 2000AD)
Raine/Wolfsbane, and Illyana/Magik (from The New Mutants)
Xena, Warrior Princess!
Emma Tupper (from Emma Tupper's Diary)
Ozma (from The Marvellous Land of Oz)
Your turn :).

Great, keep them coming!
I forgot about Diana Rigg :). Oh, and want to add:
Toni Arthur (folk singer and children's TV presenter)
Floella Benjamin (was a children's TV presenter, now chancellor of Exeter University)

Just Lucy from Elfen Lied. I never really had heroes or heroines.
