Media has had an issue with the representation of women in the past. Many shows in the past follow stereotypes of men and women. In TV dramas and sitcoms, women tend to be represented more as mothers, nurses, and secretaries while men tend to be represented by dominant roles that display aggression, strength, and action (Chandler). Suits does a great job at breaking this trend. Many of the characters have traits that do not fit these stereotypical roles. Some very good examples are of characters like Jessica Pearson, Louis Litt, and Rachel Zane. Jessica Pearson is the head of the law firm that Harvey and Mike work at. She is portrayed as an intelligent leader that understands much of the world around her. Louis Litt is a partner at the firm that produces the highest billables. He appreciates things like ballet, mudding, origami, and tennis. Rachel Zane is a paralegal of the firm. Over the course of the series, she is shown to make it on her own without her parents’ success, be a part time employee and student, and an excellent lawyer among her peers. | Media has had an issue with the representation of women in the past.
