Ok, so it has a lot of the problems of other Hollywood movies, but there is something really feminist about it
Legally Blond - she started as the stereotypical woman, got dumped by a boy just trying to follow his patriarchical past. She applied for law school, hoping to get him back. In the course of trying to fit in, and then kicked ass at law school. When he wanted her back, she said, "if I'm going to be a partner in a law firm by the time I'm 30, I need a boyfriend who isn't such a complete bonehead," and walked away. In the end, she graduated - taking the place of the wedding scene for a lot of "chick flicks." What a great plot line for a protagonist. And she planned to have a real career, there was still a proposal at the end, but it was like icing on the cake.
