Netflix’s Aggretsuko Offers Inside Portrait Of Feminine Rage

According to a strong review from writer Dami Lee, the Asian anime show Aggretsuko offers a “refreshingly accurate portrayal of working women in Asia, especially their pent-up rage in response to the ways they’re expected to perform in society.”

This rage is a concept I first wrote about in the trend Fierce Femininity, and one that I continue to see new examples of almost every week. As the deeply ingrained expectations of women in many cultures start to be challenged by a new generation, entertainment will continue to be a powerful lens to spotlight the inequality and inspire not only more women to rebel against it, but perhaps help men to recognize it too.
