Encyclopedic overview
Clockwise from top left are actresses Eva Green, Halle Berry, Michelle Yeoh, and Jane Seymour "Bond girl" is a term for a female character who is a love interest, ally or adversary of the character James Bond in a novel, film, or video game. According to Lisa Funnell, an editor of multiple books about the James Bond series, the "Bond girl" is a staple of the franchise and has been a powerful contributor to its worldwide success. Funnell believes the term is overused in popular discourse, as it is applied to almost every female character who appears in a Bond film. In recent years, some actresses in the franchise have stated that they prefer the term "Bond woman" over "Bond girl".
