18 Female Characters Who Got Us Through 2018

"I love Marlo's character in Tully. That movie is just incredible, and she sheds some much-needed light on the not-so-glamorous aspects of giving birth and being a mom. As much as we love scrolling through our Instagram feed and seeing newborn baby photos, that's not the whole story. What about mom?! Charlize Theron really crushes it as Marlo, and I'm happy it led to so many open conversations centering on postpartum psychosis."
