Ambition is not tolerated in women in our society.

Simple challenge. Name a movie with a heroine who is openly ambitious, portrayed in a positive light, without being a rape-and-revenge trope, that isn't based on a real woman.

I was thinking about this recently and I realized I can name plenty of movies with ambitious heroines, they just all happen to be aimed at children:
Kiki's Delivery Service and a lot of Miyazaki's other films
Mulan, Princess and the Frog, Brave
~50% of Disney channel original movies (Rip Girls obviously being the best)

One notable exception I can think of is True Grit, but while not aimed at children the heroine is a child. I guess girls are allowed to be ambitious but women aren't.
