Geena Davis at NCMR 2007
 
Show notes: Geena Davis (Happy Birthday Geena!) is working to improve children’s programming to include female characters in cartoons, movies and TV shows. Her organization SEE JANE (in conjunction with the nonprofit organization Dad’s & Daughters) seeks to prove the fact that women and girls are missing from most of the shows that have been made, that this lack of fair representation and stereotyping is harming children and our world and that it’s time to stop this gender inequality in Hollywood. They seek to dramatically increase the number of females in media, particularly media that is targeted to children. (Geena’s birthday is Jan 21st 1956 in massachusetts-same day, same place as me how cool...we could have been in the same nursery! too bad i can’t remember...)
