We can all relate to Leslie Knope in "Parks in Recreation." I must admit, I have been spending way too much time binge watching the show on Netflix rather than doing my homework. But, I think we can all relate to Leslie Knope. Strong female characters are rare on TV today, and she represents strong women in the workforce. What’s not to love?

1. Leslie Knope is a feminist.

She believes in the social, economic, and political equality of all the sexes. There are little hints dropped all throughout the show. She brings a positive look at feminists today in the media. So all my fellow feminists out there should take the time to watch this show.

2. Leslie Knope thinks she has men figured out.

Key word: Thinks

Throughout the show, she does things to try to become part of the in-crowd with the guys. However, the ending does not always work out. She is still trying to figure out men like the rest of us! Us girls need to stick together!

3. Leslie Knope is a good friend.

She always wants to make sure her friends are okay. She does her best to make sure she always puts "ovaries before brovaries."

4. Leslie Knope knows how to handle a bad week.

She knows how to recover when things do not go so well. I think we could all learn a lesson to take time for the things that make us happy rather than being consumed by our school work.

5. Leslie Knope takes the time to recognize the good things in life.

She doesn't let anything fly by without being grateful for every moment to take it all in.

Leslie Knope is hilarious and is a strong role model for women to achieve success and go for their goals.
