When was the last time you came across a soft spoken and submissive female character in Western media?

i can't think of any within the last 50 years. Even in the 1990's and 1980's female characters in Western media were pretty much all girl bosses.

Was going to say Gabrielle in Xena before they made her a girlboss, but that was just my childhood rose-tinted glasses. Even in her first episode, she yelled at her fiance "HEY JUST BECAUSE WE'RE BETROTHED DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN BOSS ME AROUND!" That's still pretty tame compared to female characters today.

Ok this one's probably not what you're talking about either but Bridget Fonda in Single White Female was soft-spoken and feminine, to better contrast her against the psycho woman. It was a 90's movie but they still acted like 80's women.
