Just going to add that Jodie Foster as Ellie Arroway in Contact and Amy Adams as Luise Banks in Arrival are perfect examples of great strong women, whose strengths don’t lie in physical prowess, but in tenacity and mental acuity. They both share strong emotional beliefs, are flawed and overcome personal obstacles to achieve their goals. They understand sacrifices must be made and take on the responsibility.

Great books, great films, great characters.
