In October 2017, actress Alyssa Milano sparked the #MeToo movement. The ensuing protests quickly encompassed far more than Harvey Weinstein and the entertainment industry. They expressed women''s outrage at male workplace behavior in every sector and social class and even helped elect a new generation of women leaders in 2018.
But what has been the effect of #MeToo in the entertainment industry itself? This book traces the movement''s influence on the stories being told, on changing representations of women''s lives and bodies, and on the slow changes among the producers who shape the stories.
Analyzing a wide set of TV and film genres--including crime, legal and medical dramas, comedies, horror and reality programming--this book covers the complex ways that media respond to social movements: They sometimes give voice to brand-new or previously silenced stories, but just as often make facile references that can blunt the potential for change, or even fuel cultural backlash.
