The Change of Female Roles in Television

The equality between men and women are advocated all the time. In the early 1990s, more and more women asked for their rights and as the result the power of women have raised now. We can feel the power of women from the change of female roles in the television shows.

In the 1990s, women were crazy about the romantic theme, which was about the poor heroines married the handsome rich young men, but the men’s families did not like the girls, so the girls had to do a lot of things to move the family members. It seemed to be touching stories, because the girls’ insistence helped her win everybody’s respect. But the fact is that women’s status was very low.


In today’s TV show, the female roles are so different. They are described to be independent and confident. It is not the men to choose them but they make their own decision. This is the new image of female, which shows that they become stronger and don’t need to rely on men. Career women are favored by the young girls. The new female are finding their own place.
