If you keep up with Oprah’s Book Club — or at the very least, have been online recently — then you know Michelle Obama finally released her memoir, Becoming, on Nov. 13.

In it, the former first lady opens up in ways she never has before, revealing intimate details about marriage counseling, her miscarriage, and the reason why she’ll “never forgive” Donald Trump.

Having risen to fame through her iconic performance as The Walking Dead‘s Michonne, Danai Gurira is no stranger to female power ripped from the pages of comics.

But in Black Panther, Gurira plays another kind of female warrior — one who wields her womanhood as a strength, and casts femininity in a whole new light in the process.

“Okoye flies in the face of our conventional ideas of femininity, while still functioning within her own definition of femininity,” Gurira told Mashable at the Los Angeles Black Panther press junket.
