shero

1. A woman or man who supports women's rights and respects women's issues

2. Female hero
An etymologically unmotivated analysis of hero as he-ro. (hero is Greek; 'he' is rooted in Old English).

Many consider it reduntant, as hero is the gender neutral term; heroine the gender specific term.

1. Joss Whedon is my shero. He works with Equality Now, an organization working to end violence and discrimination against women across the world
