feminist media theory

Feminist Media Theory examines how media influences and reflects gender roles and power dynamics in society. It critiques the representation of women and marginalized groups, analyzing how these portrayals shape cultural perceptions and reinforce stereotypes. The theory advocates for more diverse and equitable media representations, aiming to challenge traditional narratives that prioritize male perspectives. By exploring the relationships between media, gender, and society, this theory seeks to empower underrepresented voices and promote social change through more inclusive storytelling.
