Terminator 1984 and STar Wars 1977 were two of the first hard hitting women's empowerment films

I had realized recently that Carrie Fisher in Star Wars and Linda Hamilton in Terminator became two very powerful female empowerment roles at a time when this wasn't ordinarily true yet. I already knew this about Carrie Fisher in STar Wars 1977 But I also realized thsi was true today for Terminator.

In Terminator they demonstrate Hamilton as co-ordinated enough to ride a scooter in Los Angeles but an ineffectual waitress at a restaurant. But, as the movie progressed Kyle Reese Trains her as a future soldier successfully enough to survive the future.
