The
representation of women in popular culture has improved throughout the decades,
especially since the Women’s Liberation Movement during the 70s, as Dutt (2013)
observes, and it continues progressing each year. However, it is still
necessary to abandon some misogynist stereotypes present in the way society
sees females nowadays. The well-known television series Stranger Things can be
used as an instance to identify and explain one of this patters: the portrayal
of women as supportive characters oriented to complete male’s narratives rather
than leading their own.
