Since you mentioned good ol' Bella, I note that while she became a mother, her own mother was portrayed very unflatteringly, or so I hear. I haven't read the books so my knowledge of them is all second-hand.
I want to see more mothers as protagonists, but I'd be happy having more books/shows/films where the protagonists have strong mothers. They exist, but I always want more.
