From Bond girl to Bond woman, the evolution of an icon
No Time To Die, the 25th and latest Bond movie, is released this month, it is apparent how times have changed and how the women once known as ‘Bond girls’ have evolved to become fully fleshed (and dressed) characters in their own right.The not-so-subtle double-entendre names like Kissy Suzuki, Pussy Galore and Holly Goodhead are out.
