What to do

To boil it down to the very basic skeleton:

1. Read about reps of gender (Gauntlett etc).
2. Analyse texts where women depart from stereotypical gender roles (and perhaps the extent to which these stereotypical roles are changing across the media).
3. Explore the responses of real women audiences to these representations. You could select a range of clips, show them to a group of women, and then discuss with them their responses to the clips.
