Carrie Fisher was an actress, feminist, writer, producer, and activist. But beyond those things she became a heroine for many. She inspired strength and independence in young girls with her portrayal of Princess and General Leia Organa in the iconic Star Wars franchise. She normalized mental illness through her words and writing, making it easier for those who suffer to seek help themselves. She spoke frankly about being a feminist in the film industry through interviews and books. Carrie Fisher's monumental contributions to contemporary social issues cannot be understated and deserve to be officially recognized by the U.S. Government.
