Over the years, the Bond girl has at times been afflicted with the worst aspects of the franchise — specifically, its sexist , racist, classist, and generally stereotypical tendencies. Each one has added something important to our understanding of the Bond girl, whether it be a crucial step forward, or several embarrassing steps back. The first Bond girl ever! She was initially going to be a recurring character and, in fact, she did make a cameo in the later Bond film From Russia With Love.

A Bond girl is a character who is a love interest or female companion of James Bond in a novel, film or video game. There is no set rule on what kind of person a Bond girl will be or what role she will play. She may be an ally or an enemy of Bond, pivotal to the mission or simply there for her looks.

Bond Girls are the most prominent characters in the James Bond series. Many Bond Girls act as love interests or have sexual relations with James Bond, while other Bond Girls developed professional associations with Bond. The Daniel Craig films have elevated the way Bond Girls are represented where Bond shows more empathy towards the women he encounters. While some women have served as the typical love interest, these films have also showcased badass Bond Girls with espionage skills.
There has been a special weight on the shoulders of No Time to Die. It is simultaneously the send-off to Daniel Craig's iteration of Bond and the opening of a door to a new era: it is a beginning and an ending. Bond holds a special place in the hearts of many, particularly — but by no means exclusively — in the UK. It is an institution, a cultural icon, and though the man behind the moniker may change, James Bond is always James Bond. There's a campiness, maybe less so in recent films, alongside technologically advanced smoothness. And, above all else, Bond was always sexy. What went a long way towards cementing Bond as a sex symbol was the myriad women who threw themselves at him, and the copious — even superfluous — amount of sex he had while, you know, also trying to save the world.
