advertisement

Not too long ago, teen dramas were jam packed with strong female characters who were high kicking, vampire slaying and wittily disposing of anyone and anything that stood in their way.

But the halcyon days of Buffy and co are long gone. Instead a look at today's schedules introduces us to a new generation of teen idols who shop rather than slay, and are more likely to slip on a pair of Jimmy Choos than wittily dispose of their feelings through prompt, punchy pop culture referencing. Perhaps it's a sign of the times, but where have all the strong women gone?
