Joy Press talks about her book Stealing the Show: How Women Are Revolutionizing Television. Female writers, directors, and producers have radically transformed the television industry in recent years. Press looks at how it took decades of determination in the face of prejudice to reach this new era. She tells the story of the maverick women who broke through the barricades, from trailblazers like Roseanne Barr (Roseanne) and Diane English (Murphy Brown), to Amy Sherman Palladino (Gilmore Girls), Jenji Kohan (Weeds, Orange Is the New Black) and Jill Soloway (Transparent).
This segment is guest hosted by Kai Wright.
