Lena Dunham is the creative mastermind behind the popular HBO series Girls. Dunham challenged the stereotypical ‘friends living in New York’ sitcom, including topics that we could actually relate to and women of all shapes and sizes.

While Lena has often come under fire for controversial remarks, the actress and writer is an outspoken advocate for women’s rights, teaching us all it’s okay to say what we want when we want. Recently, she was vocal about her decision to undergo a hysterectomy after struggling with endometriosis for years. Dunham is open, honest and brilliantly talented, bringing some much-needed girl power to Hollywood.
