"Difficult Women on Television Drama analyses select case studies from international
TV dramas to examine the unresolved feminist issues they raise or address: equal labor
force participation, the demand for sexual pleasure and freedom, opposition to sexual
and domestic violence, and the need for intersectional approaches. Drawing on examples
from The Killing, Orange is the New Black, Big Little Lies, Wentworth, Outlander,
Westworld, Being Mary Jane, Queen Sugar, Vida, and other television dramas with a
focus on complex female characters, this book illustrates how female creative control
in key production roles (direct authorship) together with industrial imperatives and
a conducive cultural context (indirect authorship) are necessary to produce feminist
texts. Placed within the larger context of a rise in feminist activism and political
participation by women; the growing embrace of a feminist identity; and the ascendance
of post-feminism, this book reconsiders the unfinished nature of feminist struggle(s)
and suggests the need for a broader sweep of economic change. This book is a must-read
for scholars of media and communication studies; television and film studies; cultural
studies; sociology of gender and sexualities; women and gender studies; and international
film, media and cinema studies"
