Why The Walking Dead Has the Most Badass Women on TV Right Now

Oh, Maggie. A woman who has been through so much and who continues to overcome her tragedies in the most poetic ways possible. When Maggie arrives on the series, she's full of Southern sass and doesn't take anyone's crap. As the series goes on, she becomes the kind of woman who isn't afraid to make the hard decisions and who never backs down from a challenge.

Maggie's relationship with Glenn (RIP) shows her vulnerable side. She discovers her desire to truly live her life and start a family. After losing him, she retreats to grieve before coming out ready to fight. It's that fortitude and determination to right all wrongs against her community that makes Maggie a formidable leader of Hilltop and a damn scary mom-to-be. In the best way, of course.
