Top 5 Female Leads Who Are Also Moms
{By: Lauren Trunfio}Our “Top Female Leads” are brought to you by Top Dog Cocktails. With all the incredible female-driven television shows out right now, we belive it’s time to hihlight some of the most powerful women that have graced our screens in the past few years (who are also fabulous mothers). Here areour 4 Top Female Television Leads!
Mindy Lahiri- The Mindy Project
Out of all the female sitcom characters to date, Mindy Lahiri from The Mindy Project shines as one of the brightest. Not only is she an incredibly successful OB-GYN at a medical practice in NYC, but she is also a devoted and loving mother and friend. However, what we love most about Mindy is that she is outspoken and unapologetically herself. Instead of succumbing to the pressure of being the only female OB-GYN at her practice, Mindy uses this as a superpower that fuels all the hard work and effort she puts into her job. She also never misses the chance to sneak in a pop-culture reference or witty joke on behalf of herself, or one of her colleagues.
Kate Foster- Workin’ Moms
If you haven’t already watched the Canadian sitcom Workin’ Moms on Netflix, now is your calling to binge it immediately. Especially because powerful, and successful moms forefront the entire show. One that sticks out to us the most, however, is Kate Foster. Not only is Kate extremely ambitious and passionate about her job as a businesswoman in PR, but she is also an extremely dedicated mother of two children. What we love about Kate the most though, is that she is resilient. She never backs down from doing what’s right and is also one of the best examples of a working mother being accurately depicted on television.
Joyce Byers- Stranger Things
Perhaps one of the most fiercely devoted mothers on this list is Joyce Byers from Stranger Things. In the first season, with the disappearance of her son Will, Joyce never stopped fighting for the truth even when nobody would listen to her. She is compassionate, loyal, and always ready to put herself in the line of fire to protect her children. However, what we love the most about Joyce is that she always trusts her intuition, and continuously takes matters into her own hands when she wants something done.
Haley James Scott- One Tree Hill
For nine seasons, we’ve seen Haley James Scott on One Tree Hill flourish from a shy and nerdy high schooler to an incredibly compassionate and loyal mother. On One Tree Hill, the Scott family in particular went through hell and back, and Haley always was the anchor that held everybody together despite the chaos and hardships that arose. However, what we love most about her is how forgiving she is, and that she teaches her kids constantly about kindness above all else.
