❝ We’ve taken huge steps back in the past 10 years with the portrayal of women in film and television. It’s why I’ve been disproportionately attracted to projects set in the past. The public are still loath to see shows with women in positions of power; female characters are expected to express more traditional, caring attitudes. We need to battle for the public’s hearts and minds and create an environment where they don’t think it’s threatening or negative to see a woman playing a drunk cop or a female surgeon. ❞
