I just recently started watching TV series Mad Men because
my coworkers from the marketing department highly recommended it. I was very
much surprised to learn that “behind the smooth-talking, chain-smoking,
misogynist advertising executives on “Mad Men” is a group of women writers, a
rarity in Hollywood television. Seven of the nine members of the writing team
are women. Women directed five of the 13 episodes in the third season. The
writers, led by the show’s creator Matthew Weiner, are drawing on their
experiences and perspectives to create the show’s heady mix: a world where the
men are in control and the women are more complex than they seem, or than the
male characters realize” (Wall Street Journal).
