In Defense Of Spectre: Why This James Bond Movie Has An Unfair Rep

Dr. Madeleine Swann Is The Ultimate Bond Woman

Female characters in the James Bond franchise aren’t always given their due, and they aren’t all created equal. Every now and then someone who can really call 007 out on his flaws comes along, though, and does so in fantastic fashion. Dr. Madeleine Swann from Spectre does just that, as her intelligence, independent nature, and ability to watch out for herself all allow her to be more of an equal to James Bond than most of his romantic partners.
