female representation

Women in media

Female representation refers to the presence and portrayal of women in contexts where they have historically been underrepresented—politics, corporate leadership, media, arts, and other fields.

The term often implies not just numerical presence but meaningful inclusion: The film was praised for its female representation.

Discussions of female representation typically address both quantity (how many women) and quality (how women are depicted).
