A few years after the rise of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements, inclusion riders, gender parity, pay equity and a slew of other issues remain as relevant as ever both on-screen and off. As women demand their seats at the table behind-the-scenes, there is an onslaught of female characters fighting for their own voices among a sea of men within stories, too.

“It’s kind of crazy how aligned the show has been with these real life, current issues,” she says. “There’s an element in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ of being fed up. Yes, it’s a TV show, but it’s also real life and a lot of this stuff is happening across the world. In real life women are fed up [with] not being heard, not being seen, having to sweep it under the rug. Enough is enough, and I think it’s a collective feeling.
Similarly on HBO’s “Industry,” Myha’la Herrold was excited to finally showcase a Black woman who exists in the world at all, let alone the world of finance, but has been rarely scripted on-screen.
