The Smart Girl

She is ambitious, overachieving, career driven academic whiz. She is intolerant of people who are not smart and may seem or be too arrogant or competitive. Here is a list of 20 movies and series with The Smart Girl - a trope embraced since 1980s and 90s in multiple TV Shows, that evolved with time and brought us many different female characters with more complex personalities and stories - insecure but smart girls in search of confidence (Ugly Betty), the adult version of The Smart Girl - The powerful Smart Woman with troubled romantic life (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), competitive and intellectually curious girls who try to get out of their way (Mean Girls, Freaks and Geeks), inspirational detectives (Veronica Mars), socially conscious challengers of patriarchy (One Day at a Time), girls who show that there is no need to choose one between beauty and brains (Legally Blonde) and many others.
Based on the video "The Smart Girl Trope, Explained" by The Take. Enjoy!
