Movie characters and their actions can inspire us, make us think about important things, and even reconsider our life choices. Strong, wise, and kind characters that can serve as role models are one of the reasons why we re-watch our favorite movies again and again.

Movie lovers went to Ranker to vote for the female characters that inspire them the most, and here are the heroines who made it to the top 30. The winner surprised us, to be honest. What about you?
