Female Force: Carrie Fisher. CW Cooke

From galaxies far away to stories set all too close to home, Carrie Fisher has done it all and seen it all. From her youth as the daughter of a famous Hollywood singer and actress, to her own time in the acting spotlight, Carrie Fisher has been a strong role model for women everywhere. She has faced adversity at every turn and she has fought back each time. She's been a sex symbol, a sci-fi goddess, and everything in between, but above all else, she's been a strong female who never gave up.
