Abstract
The portrayal of women is an on-going topic in mass media discourse. With changes in viewer preferences, the television industry experiences pressure to follow societal adjustments. This paper explores the development of female portrayals in the medium of television in the 20th and 21st centuries. The depiction of women in television is a direct result of the changing views of society. The period of post-feminism ideology introduced variety and empowerment in American television with an accent on women and individuality. Post-feminism influenced the television industry in visible changes in the characterization of female roles by portraying women as leaders, scientists and overall successful individuals who do not fear confrontation and exhibiting their sexuality. This paper follows the evolution of frequent submissive female characters into inspiring businesswomen and the ever-growing gender equality by analyzing influential female characters from American television. The frequent types of characters that women play in different genres will be studied by providing examples from television shows and advertisements.
