No But Elle Woods Is A Definition Of A Strong Female Character. She Didn't Have To Loose Her Feminity

No but Elle Woods is a definition of a strong female character. She didn't have to loose her feminity and start behaving completely different to what she used to do, punching everything around her to be successful and actually intelligent. The only thing she struggled with was people not showing her respect for what she did - because she was a blond woman who enjoyed pink clothes, and that's easy to compare to the stereotypes.

Lately all movies and books with "strong female characters" mean a badass lady with a sword/gun running around and fighting everyone while being lound, bossy and arrogant. And don't get me wrong, I love that too, but Elle is an example of something completely opposite of that. Strong female character doesn't necessarily mean "one of the boys".

Also Elle is a great example of how you don't need to completely change yourself to become successful. You just need to find your potential. And honestly I think because of that she might be my favorite character ever.
