The actress was honoured with the award for her work in pushing the boundaries and challenging stereotypes in the entertainment industry. Making her acceptance speech at the star-studded event, she encouraged other females not to be restricted by the attitudes around them.
Discussing what it means to be asked the meaning of being a woman, Kristen mused: "I respond always by asking them to repeat the question so I can buy more time because it is a really, really hard question.
"My immediate reaction is to always respond with words like strong, brave and powerful but if I'm being honest, to me being a woman is not about being brave, or being strong, or being powerful, it's not about being anything specific.
"It is just about giving yourself permission to be the things that you already are, which seems very easy but it is not because women have been conditioned to fit into boxes; usually tiny, pretty, sparkly boxes with bows on them, generally.
"So to me, the idea of womanhood is someone who sheds the perfect little box and owns their complexity."
Kristen was presented with the award by her 'Good Place' co-star Ted Danson and admitted she felt "really lucky" to have been given so many "complex" roles over the years. She continued: "Veronica Mars who was sassy and strong but also soft and sad, Eleanor Shellstrop who's tough and independent but who was also capable of love and community, Princess Anna who's most likely the most un-princessy princess that has ever been animated and Sarah Marshall, who let's be honest, was kind of an a-hole. But to me, she was a really likeable a-hole."
