Unruly/unruly women: unruly: disorderly & disruptive and not amendable to discipline or control, girls are encouraged not to be wild, head strong, unruly , etc, e. g. , meghan markle, miley cyrus, princess diana, serena williams etc. Women & comedy: documentary, more at stake for women comedians vs. men, can only be good if your comedy can be relatable for men, the only women at the time who could be funny were ugly women. Why or why not: what key words do you think are important in the current movement of feminism, "they/them" > gender equality, "intersections of identity" > intersectionality, "empowerment, "choice" First wave feminism: stereotypes and tropes in comics, newspapers, and other media, common tropes: angry, ugly, undesirable, sexually off-putting, the women who have been left over.
