Independent Women: From Film to Television explores the
significance for feminism of the increasing representation of women
on and behind the screen in television contexts around the world.
"Independent" has functioned throughout film and television history
as an important euphemism for "feminist". This volume investigates
how this connection plays out in a contemporary environment that
popular feminist discourse is constructing as a golden age of
television for women. The original essays in the volume offer
insights into how post-network television is being valued as a new
site of independent production for women. They also examine how
these connotations of creative control influence perceptions of
both female creators and their content as feminist. Together, they
provide a compelling perspective on the feminist consequences of
how independence and "indie" have intensified as cultural
sensibilities that coincide and engage with the digital
transformation of television during the first decades of the 21st
century. The chapters in this book were originally published in a
special issue of Feminist Media Studies.
