‘The Walking Dead’: 17 Moments of Extreme Lady Awesomeness

To celebrate the upcoming 100th episode of The Walking Dead, Yahoo TV will be posting a new TWD-related story every day through the series’ Season 8 premiere in October.

We’re all saying “woohoo!” for the introduction of the first female Doctor Who, but on The Walking Dead, the female characters have been kicking butt and saving lives for seven seasons now. With the promise of much more to come in Season 8 — Carol, for instance, is back from her sabbatical and ready to mix it up with Negan and the Saviors — it’s the perfect time to look back at some of the all-time greatest, bravest, most mind-blowing moments from the women of TWD.

The Walking Dead Season 8 premieres in October on AMC.
