Abstract
Over the past few years we have witnessed a sharp resurgence in feminist activism. Today, its influence on mainstream culture has become increasingly noticeable as more and more TV shows are offering innovative female representations steering away from traditional stereotypes. Orange Is the New Black, The Good Wife and its sequel The Good Fight are some examples of this trend: they have been unanimously praised by critics and viewers, including the feminist. From both a sociology of culture and a gender perspective, this article aims to examine the ways these constructions adhere to feminist principles, and to highlight how despite having reclaimed a narrative space for the female gaze, these shows continue to hold many contradictions (Mulvey, 1975).
