The Role of Gender in Science Fiction as Applied in the Television Show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The feminine depiction in much of science fiction is quite often heroic. While many genres depict the strong, capable, aggressive woman as being opposed to society and social norms, the realm of science fiction puts these women in the fore and gives us heroes who can hold their own against any men of traditional dramatic literature. This is certainly the case with the heroine, Buffy Summers. Traditional male heroic roles are found in job-based depictions – the heroic soldier/policeman/fireman/teacher/etc is a standard. These characters follow the traditional path of the heroic journey – which is the case of Buffy.
