Buffy the Vampire Slayer: From Victim to Hero ✨

In 1997, Buffy the Vampire Slayer did something television had never done — made the pretty blonde girl who walks into the dark alley the most powerful person in the room. For seven seasons, Buffy Summers fought monsters that were really metaphors: first love, depression, grief, growing up. The finale gave her power to every girl simultaneously. Twenty-five years later, nothing on television has quite replaced her.
