Feminism In 80's Sitcoms

Decent Essays
Second, feminism in the nineties had plenty to do with where women’s right and gender roles are today. The sixties sitcoms set the tone for the new powerful housewife and the single working woman. Time would go by and a new feminism movement would once again be needed. Linda R. Hirschman tells us in her article called “Homeward Bound” that “…it seems obvious that the unreconstructed family was destined to re-emerge after the passage of feminism's storm of social change” (Hirshman). This change would be depicted in a nineties sitcom called “Roseanne.” Comedian Roseanne Barr did the honors of playing this part and John Goodman would star alongside her as her husband, Dan Connor. Dan’s part plays a construction worker that does not always

    Although set in the 70s, The Mary Tyler Moore Show is one of the few timeless programs that remains relatable today. As an extremely likeable character, Mary embodies an innocence along with wholesome humor and her experiences are not too out of line with the average career woman today. While modern viewers of the show would perceive Mary’s life as normal, the experiences of a single independent career woman were anything but normal in 70s society; in fact, Mary Tyler Moore was regarded a television revolutionary. The Mary Tyler Moore Show set a precedent for empowering women and incrementally redefining the mold of what an average woman’s life should look like.

    When considering women’s equality in the United States, the average person considers examples such as the Suffragist movement at the turn of the twentieth century or the Feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s. These two movements did not just occur on a feminine whim. They were often curated by previous movements and expectations held for women that they felt was necessary to update and change, much to the chagrin of the traditionalists of their respective time periods. The same can be said about both Republican Motherhood and the Cult of Domesticity. While overlapping, the two movements have many nuanced differences.…

    Since the third wave of feminism began in the mid 1990’s, similar to a rebirth in feminism, it became the norm for people to be more concerned with and speak out about women’s right issues that women have the burden of facing. With more people also learning more about the fact that feminism is based on the principles of fairness, instead of misandry, a lot of people became more comfortable identifying themselves with a feminist label. And for that reason, it doesn’t surprise most of us to hear celebrities endorse the belief, or to hear Patricia Arquette discuss the wage gap in her Oscar’s acceptance speech for her role in Boyhood. Her powerful words were met with cheers from the crowd, as she was shown to be yet another voice supporting the…

    Looking back, American society in the 1950s is often viewed through a nostalgic lens, seen as an idyllic, simplistic existence in which everyone was happy. However, things are rarely as simple as they appear, especially concerning as something as multi-layered as a country’s society. No matter how it appeared on the surface, American society and culture had been and continues to be a multi-dimensional construct based partly on the outside influences and media of the time. During the Cold War, in order to protect itself against any appearance of abnormality and to create a modicum of security in the new frightening age of atomic warfare, American society adopted commercial media’s portrayal of the normal American family as the ideal, even though it strayed far from the average.…

    Tennessee Williams’ “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” challenges gender identity with the atypical American husband and wife role representation. In class we have previously discussed the division of the American family as it is represented in “Death of a salesman” due to the inadequacy the men felt within that show. Now in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”, the same lack of personal acceptance is in not just in the men but also the women. The stereotypical roles of marriage call the husband to be the breadwinner and the wife to be the homemaker. This balance was broken at one time in the 1940’s calling both the women and men away from home; the men served in the army and the women worked in the factories.…
