"I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee"

I wanted the first post of this blog to be about someone early in history, during a time when women weren't known for their abilities to act independently.  A time when even the independent women had to be put in something sexy to get attention; when her words came second to her body.  Before the time when television and movies had women cops, women doctors, women superheroes, even women psychics there was a princess.  Her name was Leia Skywalker.
