Iconic Moments of Feminism in The Simpsons

The Simpsons is a satirical depiction of a working class lifestyle epitomized by the family, which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. The show is set in the fictional town of Springfield and parodies culture, society, television, and many aspects of the human conditions.

Intelligent, passionate, and the moral center of the family, Lisa Simpson, at eight years old, is the second child of Homer and Marge, younger sister of Bart, and older sister of Maggie. Lisa's high intellect and liberal political stance creates a barrier between her and other children her age, therefore she is a bit of a loner and social outcast. Lisa is a vegetarian, a strong environmentalist, a feminist, and a Buddhist. Lisa enjoys many hobbies, including reading and playing the saxophone. Lisa's character develops many times over the course of the show, she becomes a vegetarian in season 7 and converts to Buddhism in season 13. Lisa advocates for a variety of political causes and is a strong liberal and stands with the Tibetan independence movement.

Lisa has been known to say some of the most iconic lines in The Simpons, speaking up on issues that still occur to women and people all around the world despite some of the lines were said in the 80's.
