Write an essay about a TV show that features women as the main characters. The TV shows can be one of the choices below based on the writer’s decision.
Fleabag
Good Girls
Killing Eve
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
If you’ve seen any of these shows, you know that the show is all about women and how they are portrayed. So in this essay I want the writer to analyze the characters and their gender roles vs the “traditional gender roles” of women in TV, visual and narrative transgression, and any other topic that the writer decides.
I have attached some sources that we used in the class. You can either use these or your own sources.
