dc.description.abstract	The male gaze has been the dominant perspective through which most visual media have been constructed and illustrated throughout the history of the motion picture. This is due to the fact that men have largely dominated positions of creative authority on film and television sets. However, in recent years, a small number of female-driven, female-centric quality television shows have sparked conversation in the media for their unique portrayal of the female perspective. The media is calling this perspective “the female gaze.” However, unlike Laura Mulvey’s male gaze theory, a female gaze theory has not yet been established in the media or in academia. My thesis examines the formal conventions and theoretical implications of a female gaze through the detailed comparison of gendered perspectives in quality television.	en_US
