Inspiring Females (fictional and non-fictional)

Below is a list (accompanied by pictures) of several female characters I love. Some are from movies, some from books. You must choose one of them and either write as them, about or to them or write something inspired by them.

The women listed are the ONLY women you may write about. Any requests to write about someone else will be denied.

Rules

#1 No adult material

#2 Put the name of the woman your piece is about in your author's notes.

#3 The word "I" MUST be capitalized, no sticky caps, no writing ALL in caps, and absolutely no chat lingo.

Prewrites are allowed, but only if they are absolutely fitting.

You may enter as many times as you like.

I highly prefer rhyme and meter.
