History

Historical Context

The portrayal of female characters in media has evolved significantly since the 1960s, when feminist movements began challenging stereotypes. Early representations often depicted women as passive or sexualized. Recent trends, like the character Neagley in "Reacher," reflect a shift towards complex, capable female roles, paralleling the rise of strong female leads in action films and series, such as Katniss Everdeen and Furiosa.
