My goal is to relate modern day feminism in our society with the feminism demonstrated in the series “Dollhouse.” To do this, I plan on researching about the definitions of the different kinds of feminism, modern feminism, and how it is portrayed in the media. I searched Academic Search Complete for relevant articles and I came across a few that might be able to help. The language used in the articles were pretty difficult to understand, being scholarly articles and all, but I suppose if I spend enough time reading it and looking up some of the unfamiliar words, I’ll be able to decipher most of its content. I was even able to find an article about feminism in one of Joss Whedon’s other shows, “Firefly.” Hopefully that will be able to give me insight on how Whedon shows typically depict women and how the issues of feminism are brought up by his other works. I chose to use feminism as my argument because of two main reasons: 1) I have already tackled feminism in past research papers and am therefore relatively familiar with it, and 2) there is more than just one scene that shows feminist ideas, so it’ll be easier to write a longer paper.
