* The {{Blaxploitation}} roles of Creator/PamGrier work as a {{Reconstruction}} of the trope for the \\\"modern day\\\". As Creator/QuentinTarantino has noted, Grier\\\'s heroines first codified in cinema the female {{Badass}} who nonetheless saw no need to link that with being a {{Tomboy}}. Pam\\\'s characters in \\\'\\\'Film/{{Coffy}}\\\'\\\', \\\'\\\'Film/FoxyBrown\\\'\\\', \\\'\\\'Film/ShebaBaby\\\'\\\', etc., are prone to KickingAssInAllHerFinery while being comfortably flirtatious and caring a great deal about their appearance.

First, it violates our rule of listing \\\"general\\\" example by mentioning several roles of one actress as if they were interchangeable.

Second, my gut feeling doesn\\\'t like this write-up. I think this might be a different trope entirely, perhaps decending from SpiritedYoungLady, but a witty, badass woman who kicks ass and cares about her appearance might be too far from this trope that is mainly connected to past eras.

What do you say?
