Whittling the list of Bond women for the poll down to seven was not easy. Consider we left actors such as Britt Ekland, Teri Hatcher and Jane Seymour off, though you are welcome to write them in, if you’d like.

Diana Rigg and George Lazenby as newlyweds Tracy and James Bond in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service."

There were the essentials: the original Bond woman, Honey Ryder, and first equal, Pussy Galore (yes, the Vizu polling widget did not let me use her first name, and that’s all I’m saying about that). I also consider Diana Rigg’s Tracy essential, because she remains the only Bond woman who got Bond to the altar. Then, there are personal choices such as From Russia with Love’s Tanya who had a big impact on teenage me.

So, please vote for your fave Bond woman, and if you haven’t already, take our polls on the Bond actors and villains. As I said before, if you have a topic suggestion for one of the remaining four polls, let me know.
