Marge Simpson - Wonderful Woman No. 105

Marge Simpson
Fictional American Housewife

Added to the album by Gavin, A Wonderful Man

For services to holding the most dysfunctional family in the world together with undying love, humour and blue hair.
Gavin

I think Gavin's quote pretty much sums up Marge's wonderfulness.

Marge is not the first animated character to make it into this list of elite women, you may remember my championing Long Distance Clara - Wonderful Woman No. 27 some time ago. I see no problem in recognising these women's contribution just like any other.

Marge first appeared on American television in 1987, and has gone on to be an internationally recognisable personality since. Marge is the matriarch of The Simpsons, wife to Homer and mother to Bart, Lisa and Maggie. She holds the family together through constant trials and tribulations, never faultering in her affection for her hopeless husband and challenging children.

I am often asked in jest to include people's mother's in the album, when this comes up, I usually point people in the direction of Doreen Lawrence - Wonderful Woman No. 39, as an example of a wonderful mother. Perhaps also, I should now point them in the direction of Marge.

You can never raise a hand to a child. Just stop cutting the crust off their sandwiches. They'll get the message.
