10 series with strong women


Girls and young people from all over the world want to see themselves on television screens, and for a long time they saw themselves represented in supporting, submissive and/or stereotyped roles. Tired of this lack of representation, many women fought to not only star in series and films, but to integrate behind the scenes, as directors, producers, writers, screenwriters and so on.

The result: an ever-increasing range of productions featuring characters of strong, powerful and intelligent women, with more empowerment and less female objectification. One of the most acclaimed series today, for example, Grey’s Anatomy represents this presence well: in addition to strong female characters, the production is written by filmmaker Shonda Rhimes – showing the importance of women also being behind the camera, leading to more egalitarian productions.

But Grey’s Anatomy is just one example in a growing sea of ​​shows that showcase female power. In the list below, we separate 10 productions (including the story of Meredith Grey, because it couldn’t be different) that have strong and determined female characters, all available in the Globoplay. The works have the most different scripts, with historical, detective, action and adventure series – there is even Brazilian production on the list!
