Audrey says “fuck your gender roles”

Also, I’d like to point out that she is eighteen canonically. She is, far and away, the youngest person on the expedition and she’s also in-fucking-valuable. She was given a supervisory position at Ford’s autoplant at age eleven and was involved with union and labor negotiations. If you know anything of Ford Automotive (or Ford himself) and its history, that should really impress upon you how badass Audrey is. Just about everyone on the expedition team fucking respects this woman —- as they should.

And you know what else is badass about Audrey? Never once does she feel like she has to explain away anything. She wants to run around in mechanic’s clothes (particularly at this time supremely incongruous)? Fuck yeah. She wants to show up at Whitmore’s looking like she walked off the cover of Harper’s or Vogue? Fuck yeah. She is a smart, confident woman who is wickedly competent (and passionate!) about what she does. 

This is all really shiny. And then you throw in the fact that she is a woman of color in a position of serious authority in nineteen-fucking-fourteen. The Roaring Twenties and ‘loose women’ aren’t a thing yet. Women don’t have the vote yet. For fuck’s sake, diaphragms aren’t legal in the U.S. at this point and in certain states, you could be arrested for distributing contraceptives (please see Margaret Sanger in New York). And here, fuck your stereotypes, fuck your societal demands of silence and complicity —made worse by being a young woman of color— Audrey Ramirez does what the fuck she wants and will out class and out snark you while she does it.

tl;dr Audrey Ramirez is fucking fabulous and I want her to get more attention.

Like I needed that long-ass explanation to know why I’ve loved this woman since day fucking 1
