26 Iconic TV Shows Created by Kickass Women

While you're probably familiar with Jenji Kohan and Shonda Rhimes, you may not have heard the name Callie Khouri. It's a shame, because she's the writer behind 1991's Thelma & Louise and the creator of Nashville. The twisty drama featured an ensemble cast, with Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere at the center as two divas who represent country music's old school and new class. While it would be typical for writers to pit these two against each other for a good old-fashioned catfight (cringe), their relationship quickly turns from one of animosity to one of admiration.
