Feminism has undoubtedly changed in the last hundred years. What started as a fight for equal civil rights has turned into a term with many different opinions and definitions. There are multiple approaches to how to define the feminist movement. Today, television and the media play an important role in how the public views feminism. How television interprets feminism is, for the most part, how the rest of the public will, too. Since television plays such an important role in influencing audiences, this article will aim to see if specifically the television series Gossip Girl has an attitude that gives off a negative view of feminism. To examine this question it is necessary to understand what feminism is. Because feminism has changed so much over the years, it is necessary to consider the three different waves. Secondly, it must be clear what the representations of anti-feminism would be, along with the representations of post-feminism. Next, an examination of how women have been portrayed on television and in the media over the past two decades is needed. These three factors will help establish a basis for further examining the negative messages of feminism spread by Gossip Girl. This article will examine two episodes of Gossip Girl and more specifically the character Blair Waldorf to see what and how negative views of feminism are shown.Part I: Feminism and Its Three WavesIt is difficult to have a single definition of what feminism is. Sally Scholz states that a very general definition of feminism would be “equal rights for women” (1). However, she goes on to state that feminism “looks at all aspects of life to identify those elements that might be oppressive and suggest alternatives” (1). Susan Loui... middle of the paper... basically 5 years of Blair going back and forth in relationships. It goes back to the idea that “girls are worth more if they are desired by boys” (Myers 8). There are almost no episodes where Blair is a single woman. This gives the impression that Blair simply couldn't succeed if he didn't have a man by his side. Conclusion Feminism will always be around with changing definitions and different meanings. Feminism represented on television will also constantly change, as it has already changed so much in the last 40 years. The Gossip Girl series has further aided the understanding of representations of feminism in television and media. This show showed what kind of anti-feminist messages are being conveyed to the public. It showed how she interpreted feminism, which is probably how it was interpreted by the show's fandom as well.
