The Doctor – Fiction’s Fearless Females

In celebration of International Women’s Day today and Women’s History Month to follow, I’ve teamed up with a group of other bloggers to write a series saluting some of our favorite female characters.  Going first was a bit intimidating.  Who could I write about?  Who has the gravitas worthy of beginning our month-long celebration of these incredible characters?  Then it hit me – it’s the Doctor!  It seemed so obvious once I thought of her.  So, in honor of International Women’s Day, Women’s History Month, and to kick-off our month-long series I’m exploring the Doctor, as portrayed by Jodie Whittaker in Series Eleven and Twelve (with more to come!) of Doctor Who.
