Portray Her 2.0: An Analysis of 15 Years of Women in STEM On-Screen, 2007–2022

Author: Madeline Di Nonno (Geena Davis Institute)

Abstract: The subject of this study is if and how entertainment media perpetuates STEM representation inequalities. We initiated this research because entertainment media shapes our self-perception and how we view others. This includes influencing our attitudes towards STEM and our beliefs about who can pursue STEM interests. On-screen, men in STEM still outnumber women in STEM. In the U.S., women are still significantly underrepresented in STEM fields, a situation partly attributed to prevailing perceptions about STEM.
