Lynda Carter as Diana Prince, a.k.a. Wonder Woman, in Wonder Woman (1975–1979)
Lynda Carter "in her satin tights" was the object of every male fantasy. However, she was also "fighting for your rights," making her a suitable role model for girls. The show also had arguably the funkiest theme song ever. Fun fact: according to this clip, everyone's favorite female fighter was over 2,500 years old on the series.
