1. She is a born leader.
She knows what needs to be done, and she's gonna do it. So either do as she says, or step out of her way.
2. She knows her worth.
3. She can turn anything into a weapon.
4. Seriously, she can beat you up with literally anything.
5. She's not taking any of your misogynistic BS.
6. She is a master of sass.
7. She is just as qualified as anyone else — and she's not gonna let you forget it.
8. She is a master of disguise.
9. She is perfectly capable of sticking up for herself, thank you very much.
10. She founded S.H.I.E.L.D.
11. She was Captain America's rock.
12. She will gain your respect.
The best way to gain respect is to earn it, but what if you have earned it, and they still don't respect you? Make them.
13. She is played by the fabulous Hayley Atwell.
Hayley Atwell is easily just as cool as the butt-kicking SSR agent she plays on TV. She is all about girl power and has been outspoken about her wishes for the show to become more diverse in coming seasons. She also ships Stucky (Steve and Bucky) and Cartinelli (Peggy Carter and Angela Martinelli), so you know she has great taste.
