This title provides a broad overview of how women are portrayed and
treated in America's news and entertainment industries, including
film, television, radio, the internet, and social media. This book
provides a one-stop resource for understanding the participation
and representation of women in the U.S. media in such areas as
narrative film, scripted television programming, advertising, video
games, news, and sports. Coverage is wide-ranging and
comprehensive, covering historical developments and trends as well
as such relevant issues as gender disparities in pay and
advancement opportunities, stereotypical gender portrayals in
popular entertainment, sexual harassment in America's media and
entertainment industries, and the dearth of positive media
representations of women of color. Engaging with this history and
reading about current issues related to this topic will be useful
to those interested in understanding more about why women's
engagement in media-in such roles as performer, journalist,
producer, and writer-is important. It will also help readers better
understand how and why problematic media representations of women
hinder efforts to achieve full gender equality in American society.
