The women on television series are spectacularly feminine. They are the most beautiful doctors, lawyers, detectives, scientists, queens, fashion-writers, moms, Victorian ladies, and witches ever seen. Focusing on series that celebrate empowered women from mainstay crime dramas such as
Bones
(2005-2017) and
The Rookie: Feds
(2022-2023) to teen dramas, with series such as
Sex Education
(2019-2023) and
Charmed
(2018-2022), to romance series such as
Bridgerton
(2020-), this book analyzes the onscreen portrayals of femme, femininity, and feminism. Specifically, this book maps the televisual trends that objectify femininity and those that visualize femininity as subject, working to demonstrate how televisual style constructs femininity through its onscreen portrayals.
