About this Quote

This quote by Francesca Annis talks to the lack of representation of successful women with households in the media. It recommends that females are often depicted as victims in dramas, instead of as strong, successful individuals who are also able to have a household. This lack of representation is harmful, as it perpetuates the idea that ladies can not be both effective and have a family. It likewise indicates that women are just valuable when they remain in a state of suffering, which is an outdated and destructive stereotype. It is essential that the media begins to represent successful women with families, in order to reveal that women can be both effective and have a household, and that this is a legitimate and valuable life option.
