Throughout the long running BBC series Doctor Who, the Doctor has
rarely been alone, traveling with both female and male
"companions." The companion is essential to Doctor Who because he
or she is a stand-in for the audience, providing information about
the Doctor's ongoing adventures. With the casting of a female actor
in the role of the Doctor in 2018, one criticism of the series was
finally resolved. After the shift in gender identity, the role of
the Doctor and the companion also shifted--or has it? The continued
focus on romantic relations between the TARDIS occupants has led to
complaints from both male and female fans, reiterating and
reinforcing myriad criticisms about the portrayal of the female
companions. Essays in this book consider how gender is presented in
Doctor Who and how certain female companions have been able to
break out of the gendered roles usually assigned to them through
the classic and new series.
