The Women of Mad Men: How Peggy, Betty & Joan Carved Their Own Paths | Compilation

[TMC]

Peggy Olson, Betty Draper and Joan Holloway all led very different lives on Mad Men, but even all of these years later we can still relate to so many parts of their stories. In this compilation, we're diving back into our character studies on these three women to unpack the world they we're trapped in, and how they broke free (or didn't...) Peggy Olson began the show as the fish-out-of-water new girl, and over the seasons worked her way to the very top through sheer drive and wit. Betty Draper was only ever focused on her looks and building the ideal life as a house wife, but over time she realized that the reality was much different from her dreams... And Joan Holloway found a certain kind of power in her voluptuousness and beauty, but she came to desire a more stable, realized type of power in her life (and she worked hard to get it!)
