In The Anti-Heroine on Contemporary Television: Transgressive
Women, Molly Brost explores the various applications and
definitions of the term anti-heroine, showing that it has been
applied to a wide variety of female characters on television that
have little in common beyond their failure to behave in morally
"correct" and traditionally feminine ways. Rather than dismiss the
term altogether, Brost employs the term to examine what types of
behaviors and characteristics cause female characters to be labeled
anti-heroines, how those qualities and behaviors differ from those
that cause men to be labeled anti-heroes, and how the label
reflects society's attitudes toward and beliefs about women. Using
popular television series such as Jessica Jones, Scandal, and The
Good Place, Brost acknowledges the problematic nature of the term
anti-heroine and uses it as a starting point to study the complex
women on television, analyzing how the broadening spectrum of
character types has allowed more nuanced portrayals of women's
lives on television.
