Where do these empowering women who are TV characters come from? It’s fascinating to learn that the writers who sculpt these dynamic female characters actually might be sharing a sliver of a woman they know. It’s a powerful trait of a mother, daughter, sister or neighbor who pushes themselves to be the best or to make her dreams come true. These are real traits built into a TV show in the form of a character.
What is Women Empowerment?
Women empowerment isn’t just about being strong. There is a deeper reflection. Empowerment is a woman who steps up to conquer the world in her own way. She has the will to pursue her goals and dreams. The drive to do whatever is needed. And the determination to not stop until she has found her place in life. Recognizing there are pitfalls for equality, empowering women are determined to make a change by being the first, the best or even the strongest. They never dwell on what they don’t have, they focus on how to get it what they want. Only stopping when they have achieved their personal desires.
Empowering female characters on television include real women stepping in front of the camera too. There are news anchors, talk show hosts and reality show celebrities who are empowering. A peek at the inspiration, dedication and the undeniable determination of every strong woman seen on TV is what the Women Empowerment series is all about. SHE can do it on TV. And if SHE. can why can’t every woman watching dream big and accomplish their goals too?
