À propos de cet audio
Kadie Philp sits down with Dr. Andrea Braithwaite, a senior teaching professor at Ontario Tech University, to explore how television has shaped—and been shaped by—women’s roles in society.
From the pioneering influence of I Love Lucy to the feminist power of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the cultural impact of Schitt’s Creek, they discuss how television has both reinforced and challenged gender norms.
They also examine how technological shifts—like the rise of streaming services—have changed the way stories about women are told, and how Canadian TV plays a unique role in pushing the conversation forward.
Plus, they tackle the ongoing fight for pay equity in Hollywood and the power of storytelling in driving real-world social change.
