We’re just two weeks away from Halloween and some of us are not ready, especially in terms of costumes. I don’t know about you, but I’m not quite sure what to dress up as. We’ve given you a few suggestions, like your childhood cartoon heroes. Today we wanted to mix it up and give options inspired by strong women in TV and film. In 2018, we were treated to many movies and TV shows that showcased women’s strengths and we are so here for it. To celebrate these, here are some badass women you can dress as for Halloween.
