Author and TV critic Joy Press' Stealing the Show: How Women Are Revolutionizing Television chronicles 12 shows that revolutionized the way women are seen on TV, from The Mindy Project to Murphy Brown to Roseanne and New Girl. "The offerings by female showrunners and shows focused on the female experience were few and far between when I started out" writing about TV in 2000, says Press, "but around 2011 it felt like something changed and there was a flood of really interesting shows coming down the pipeline that had mostly female creators and an exciting range of female leads and female experience." ALSO: Read an excerpt from the book about "feminist hero" Murphy Brown.
