Alison Bechdel may be the most well known outside of the comic circle, for creating the Bechdel test. This test is one of the main ones that most main media is judged by and will likely still be used in the upcoming century or so.
The women creates made sure that women were no longer just the bombshell eye candy or ditzes to show off the male leads intelligence.

And we got some comics specifically made for women talking about our problems from our point of view.
