"I'm so sick of hearing how there's no strong roles for women. I don't care about strong roles. I just want to see women who are characters! A nun, a serial killer, a housewife, as long as there's some depth there"

- Martha Plimpton

About this Quote

In this quote, Martha Plimpton expresses her frustration with the lack of varied and complex female characters in media. She dismisses the concept of "strong roles" for females, instead emphasizing the significance of strong and complex characters. Plimpton argues that it does not matter what type of function a lady plays, whether it be a nun, a serial killer, or a homemaker, as long as there is depth and complexity to the character. This highlights the requirement for more representation and recognition of women as totally realized people with their own distinct stories and experiences. Plimpton's words serve as a tip that women are more than simply one-dimensional stereotypes and should have to be represented as such in media.
