A world full of women reflected in art would be nice.
After two episodes of Agent Carter, I am cautiously enjoying the fact that a supporting female character is rather aggressively insisting on drawing Peggy into her life, as if to puncture the trope that a woman engaged in heroic business should interact only with men, and as of the end of the second episode Peggy has just moved into a women-only boarding hotel, where I foresee hilarious clashes between her curfew and the necessities of espionage, but also ideally more interactions with other women. The show is taking some pains not to frame her as either "one of the boys" or an exceptional woman, so I have hope.
