A strong female character doesn't necessarily have to be physically capable, but when we see a TV lady who can hold her own, it's hard not to get excited.
There are many incredible female characters on TV these days, and whether they are giving closing statements in a courtroom, or getting in fist fights with the guys, they are all fierce in their own ways.
In a time where women are speaking up and going toe to toe with the men in power, it is becoming increasingly relevant to see these sorts of women portrayed in the media.
There will never be enough examples of strong women on television, but there are certainly more now than there have ever been. Here are 17 women of TV who would win a bar fight!
