Attacking a crocodile to save a friend, getting a pink mohawk at 90 years old, getting a huge billboard ad to call out a cheater—this is just the tip of the iceberg of female awesomeness. They’re called ‘power moves’ for a reason. They resonate. They echo. They stick in your memory better than bubble gum to the pavement on a scorching summer’s day.

Scroll down to see the very best posts about women who deserve respect for their power moves, collected by the Bored Panda team. Remember to upvote your fave pics and don’t forget to share your opinion in the comments. And when you’re done with this list, you’ll definitely want to check out this (gender-neutral) article about awesome power moves.

Meanwhile, be sure to read Bored Panda’s exclusive interview with British comedy writer, aspiring pop star, and single mother Ariane Sherine, a woman of more talents than we could list. We had a chat with her about the indicators that you’re living a high-quality good life, why women shouldn’t be pressured to get married, and the challenges that women still face today in the West.
