So both female companions written by Moffat are mysteries and described as “impossible”.

I wish he’d just let women be characters rather than great mysteries for the male characters to solve.

I don’t think Moffat’s particularly good at writing women in general, so I’m kind of tempted to agree, but…

For most of RTD’s run, the show was about the Doctor being a great mystery that the female characters- Rose, Martha, etc – had to solve. (And they often didn’t get rewarded for their efforts.) So now the shoe is on the other foot to some extent. Plus Clara’s an enigma for the audience to solve as well- we were always a lot more privy to the Doctor’s inner thoughts than his companions were, we knew him better than they did, but Clara’s a total mystery to both us and him. And I’m really looking forward to finding out who or what she is, just as I did with the Doctor when I first started watching back in 2005…..

Even sent back to a time when life was harder, particularly for women, Amy Pond didn’t let it deter her. She continued to be a journalist- she wrote travel articles under the name Amelia Williams, not wanting to take her name away from her younger self. Then, as time went by, she began writing more hard-hitting stuff, standing up for causes she believed in and even at times risking her life (along with her husband) for the truth.

When she reached her eighties, Amy met a little girl visiting New York on a school trip. It was the girl’s first time abroad, so Amy befriended her and talked to her and gave her some journalism tips. Even as the years- many years- passed, Sarah Jane Smith never forgot her.
