You Pinspire Me
As we recently passed another International Women’s Day, I’ve been reminded about the importance of seeing women in media, literature, and politics. It’s something that I don’t always think about, being in a family with four boys, but it is still such an important topic. Women have come such a long ways, but there is still so much further to go, both here and around the world.
My busy life with four boys and a husband!
Netflix is definitely doing its part in promoting shows with strong female characters. Have you heard of the show Project MC²? It’s a teen live-action miniseries that promotes interest in science, technology and coding, with female main characters. How cool is that?! When I was little there was NOTHING that encouraged us in that area! Imagine how many girls’ lives would be different today if they were encouraged down a non-traditional career path?!
There’s also a new show from Netflix starring the amazing Julie Andrews! Julie’s Greenroom is a new show, which features a puppet cast, exploring everything from singing to acting & writing! I’ve been a huge fan of her from The Sound of Music all the way to The Princess Diaries, and I know that whatever she is involved with is going to be great!
Some other shows I’ve really enjoyed that feature strong female leads are:
Gilmore Girls
Covert Affairs
Scandal
Grey’s Anatomy
Quantico
Heartland
How about you? What are you streaming these days? We always need new ideas!!
