Well, guess what, when I clicked on that first line it would simply just open another window to this same post or page (just trying to help). So, in an effort to be helpful for others to read the actual article (I had perform some research - better than editing, I'll tell ya) you were referring to, I will include the properly-given link below. Winona Ryder shows why we need more angry, rebellious women in pop culture

Is Heathers too shocking for 2018?“It was a very special script, a special set of circumstances. It was possible to get it financed because of the growing home video market, that just exploded around 1987. We got lucky casting it. I personally can’t imagine anyone else apart from Winona Ryder in that part and she happened to want to do it, and she was actually exactly the right age for Veronica. It was a pretty good set of circumstances and it doesn’t happen that often.”

Winona Ryder, Serious Actress"“There are three ages for women: babe, district attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy,” she said, quoting The First Wives Club, of women’s opportunities in Hollywood and her decision to stop working. “I just never got to play that district attorney.”
Ryder was right, but not because she couldn’t come back — she has, indeed, returned with full force, not least of all with Stranger Things. She was right because she knew that she would never fit in playing a D.A.; that her glory would not come from playing a steely woman with blunt edgesRyder is an actress who trades in permeability, in sideways glances and a slumped shoulder. She has a history of playing strong women — Jo March, Blanca Trueba, Abigail Williams, Finn Dodd, and now Joyce Byers — but their strength almost always comes from plucky grit, a jutted-chin determination that allows room for anxiety and vulnerability. Ryder’s women are never cold-blooded, even when they are killing."

This is not really about Winona, but it really addresses how much of an outlier, how forward-looking, and unique Winona Ryder's films were in their day and age. Molly Ringwald On '80s Movies And Sexual AssaultLast Thursday's hearings on the sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh brought up, among other things, the high school party scene in the 1980s and the films that glorified it. Kavanaugh mentioned those movies when he defended some of the crude references in his high school yearbook.
During the hearing, Kavanaugh said he thought "some editors and students wanted the yearbook to be some combination of Animal House, Caddyshack, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which were all recent movies at that time."
Filmmaker John Hughes' famous teenage comedies — like Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club — fall under the same category of coming-of-age classics.
Molly Ringwald starred in many of those movies. But now that she has a teen of her own, she has reassessed the way those films perpetuated sexual assault as a norm of teen life.
In the film Sixteen Candles, for example, Michael Schoeffling plays the teenage dreamboat Jake Ryan. In one scene, Schoeffling's character casually suggests taking advantage of his passed out girlfriend. "I've got Caroline in the bedroom right now passed out cold," his character says. "I could violate her 10 different ways if I wanted to."
It's scenes like that, Ringwald says, that are troubling.

BTW, has anyone checked out the Irish drama NORMAL PEOPLE? If you read the article above Winona swears by it. I've seen it, and it's really good. I can see why Winona loves it though, especially the fact that lead actress Daisy Edgar Jones seems to be channeling young Winona with near pitch perfect accuracy. She also worked with one of the directors on a film project that was sadly abandoned, Lily and the Secret Planting.
