Abstract

This study examines the representation of women in T.V. Drama in a very critical stage in the transformation of the Egyptian political regime within the five years of 25th January events (2010-2014). In fact, women played a great role in the political changes that occurred in Egypt throughout its different historical stages as much as in the social life. Based on feminist media theory, this research employs an integrated method of approach through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings show that the political changes in reality are not sufficiently reflected on the image of women in T.V. series during the 2011 events which results in the existence of symbolic annihilation of women in the political field in contrast to reality. From the perspective of T.V. industry, the study concludes that male writers, directors or producers are unaware of the need of fixing the gender gap in T.V. shows, while females are much more aware of the unreal and unjust representation of women in T.V. series.
