Definition

  • In 2010, women comprised approximately one third of the U.S. media workforce, up from about one fifth in the early 1970s. Despite the overall increase in the number of women employed in the industry since then, gains have been incremental and at times nonexistent. [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender in Media; Workforce]
