* SelfDeprecation: She has easily some of the most humorous lines in the series (aside from Betty Friedan), is very witty and fast with the snappy liners, and once she approached Gloria about Andy Warhol snubbing her at a party and when Gloria pointed out it's understandable because Flo defended his would-be assassin Valerie Solanas, Flo countered:
-->Not that well! The girl got three years.

* HandicappedBadass: She doesn't have a visually obvious disability but she possesses a fused spine and is missing some of her intestines but she is fiercely outspoken and passionate about human rights and isn't afraid of a confrontation. She even said in RealLife:
-->'''Flo Kennedy''': I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady with a fused spine and three feet of intestines missing and a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florynce_Kennedy Her life could be a film]] in of itself. She was a radically progressive lawyer who defended the prisoners at Attica, Valerie Solanas, formulated the protests at Miss America 1968 and at Harvard in 1973 where she and several women spilled cups of urine on the steps to protest the lack of restrooms for women, acted in three movies (one of which starred Creator/MorganFreeman), and wrote or contributed to many books.

* ProperlyParanoid: Not given as much of a reason like other Black feminists on the show but she clearly doesn't trust Alice and Pamela (given that the anti-ERA side is made up of privileged white women who can often be racist and the counter-movement won support from White Supremacist groups, it's no wonder). Alice laughing at Carmen's joke about length comparisons wins Audrey over somewhat.
* SilkHidingSteel: She is a very polite woman when she welcomes the anti-ERA Pamela and Alice into the hotel room with her young daughter but it's clear that she doesn't fully trust them.
* WorthyOpponent: She is a Republican but she shows up to cheer the Democrat Shirley Chisholm during her campaign given how they are both supporters of ERA, influential Black feminists, and Shirley's campaign is historically significant.

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: She is a very tough and no-nonsense, often confrontational, radical lawyer who isn't popular with Phyllis's crowd but she is very compassionate about defending people and their rights, has progressive views of the LGBT community for the era, she's a friendly confidant to Shirley, very close with Gloria and the other feminists (even apparently the Republican Jill from their physical closeness while grudgingly listening to Rosemary's anti-abortion speech), and is very friendly to Alice even after viewing her anti-ERA button but still makes a point of reminding the conservative Alice that Woody Guthrie was a Socialist and that it doesn't make him any less patriotic.
Added DiffLines:
* MyCountryTisOfTheeThatISting: She takes the time to remind Alice that just because someone is left-leaning, doesn't make them anymore patriotic; indeed while Alice's crowd might view her as anti-American, Flo is motivated by the desire to see her country become more fair and just for people from all different walks of life.
