I am attempting to reflect the world that I live in. Attempting to reflect the medical world that doctors exist in. Attempting to write women as they actually exist. – Shonda Rhimes1 1.1 Shonda Rhimes and Women’s Reproductive Rights At the 2015 Massachusetts Conference for Women in 2015, a conference providing motivation, networking, skill-building, and inspiration for women, Shonda Rhimes was introduced by television critic Emily Nussbaum as a ‘gladiator’ bringing a new ‘dark and twisty’ language to television. According to Nussbaum, “[c]rucially, she has put women, gay men and lesbians, and people of color at the center rather than the edges of her fictional worlds”.2 Nussbaum is a well-known journalist who writes for The New Yorker and won a Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 2016. The descriptions she uses for Rhimes as a writer producer, and influencer in television mirror the general descriptions and expectations that are held for her as a powerful woman of color. Rhimes has expressed her discontent with her success always being linked to her gender and race, as in August 2014, when she was described as “the most powerful black female in Hollywood” in a draft announcement for an event. She reacted by crossing out ‘female’ and ‘black’ before returning the draft.3 Rhimes argued that these modifiers were not relevant or necessary, as “[t]hey wouldn't say that someone is 'the most powerful white male showrunner in Hollywood.”4 With the success Rhimes has achieved, scholars have analyzed her work within the context of feminist representation and racial diversity. Sociologist Maryann Erigha, analyzed Rhimes’ and her unique success as a black woman in Hollywood, subsequently claiming that the success of Rhimes and a strong black lead character like Olivia Pope are due to the politics 1 Shonda Rhimes, Planned Parenthood Champion of Change Award Acceptance Speech (2017) Ramin Setoodeh, “Read Shonda Rhimes’ Full Speech at Planned Parenthood Gala: ‘Women Should Be Running Things’,” Variety, accessed June 2, 2017. http://variety.com/2017/scene/news/shonda-rhimes-planned-parenthood-read-full-speech-1202407894/ 2 Emily Nussbaum & Shonda Rhimes, “Shonda Rhimes at the 2015 Massachusetts Conference for Women,” Massachusetts Conference for Women, accessed January 29, 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_g-Js-Al4g 3 Lacey Rose, “Shonda Rhimes Opens Up About 'Angry Black Woman' Flap, Messy 'Grey's Anatomy' Chapter and the 'Scandal' Impact,” the Hollywood Reporter, accessed January 27, 2017. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/shonda-rhimes-opens-up-angry-738715 4 Ibid. 3 of crossing over.5 Erigha argues that success in Hollywood can only be achieved by not being “too black”.6 Related to this, communications scholar, Ralina Joseph stated that Rhimes’ onscreen black female characters are elite, professional powerhouses who show great success in their work and complex personal relationships. Furthermore, Joseph argues that the black female leads embrace interracial relationships and friendships, seldom seen in the company of other black women.7 As stated by Nussbaum, Rhimes has put women at the center of her stories. A 2016 thesis analyzed feminist and patriarchal themes in Shonda Rhimes’ series Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder. The analysis of feminist and patriarchal themes in these shows illustrated that feminist themes were present in Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, yet, How to Get Away With Murder also illustrated “rampant patriarchal themes.”8 Even though previous research analyzed Rhimes’ portrayal of feminist values, these analyses have not yet placed this in the scope of women’s reproductive rights. In 2016, Shonda Rhimes received the Producers Guild of America’s Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television.9 The award was named after writer and producer Norman Lear, because he was a pioneer in film and television writing on social issues.10 In 1972, two months before Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in the United States, Lear introduced an abortion narrative to his CBS sitcom Maude. Lear developed two episodes in which the title character decides to terminate her pregnancy and persuades her husband to have a vasectomy. According to Parry, the show’s popularity paved the way for other television shows to address difficult issues.11 Parry argues that Lear had an unusual level of autonomy that may have helped him successfully produce programs illustrating the theme of abortion.12 Rhimes has created a similar situation for herself at ABC Network. In several interviews, she has discussed her privileged position at the network and the fact that she has the freedom to make decisions about 5 Maryann Erigha, “Shonda Rhimes, Scandal, and the Politics of Crossing Over,” The Black Scholar 45(1) (2015): 10. 6 Ibid. 7 Ralina L.

She did have some discussions with the network when it came to abortion plotlines on Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal but in other cases she did not even ask: “Part of the luxury of my job is that I don’t necessarily have to ask anybody anymore. I didn’t ask, we just did it.”13 Rhimes is not the only one discussing abortion through her television narratives. Sociologists, Gretchen Sisson and Katrina Kimport studied abortion outcomes in film and television between 1916 and 2013 and they found that the number of abortion plotlines have increased by at least 31% each decade over the decade before.14 In their research into abortion plotlines on American television, Sisson and Kimport concluded that a clear majority of fictional characters retrieving an abortion between 2005 and 2014 were white.15 The percentages of abortion distribution for U.S. women in 2008 show that 36.1% of the abortions were obtained by white women and 29.6% were obtained by black women. Between 2005 and 2014, 87.5% of the abortions in American television were obtained by white women and only 5% were obtained by black women.16 Sisson and Kimport do not provide possible causes for the discrepancy in percentages, however, they do suggest that the underrepresentation of certain populations of women considering abortion on television could contribute to feelings of isolation or internalized stigma and shame.17 Some of the reasons behind having an abortion were also underrepresented in abortion plotlines on television. Financial unpreparedness and prioritizing the needs of existing children were portrayed less frequently and could suggest that abortion is a self-focused decision and that the procedure is wanted instead of needed.18 This thesis will not focus on Rhimes and her portrayal of powerful women or race as a factor in abortion plotlines.

    Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) Riley Keough, 26, is one of Hollywood’s rising stars. At the age of 12, she appeared in her first campaign for Tommy Hilfiger and at the age of 15 she ignited a media firestorm when she walked the runway for Christian Dior. From a young age, Riley wanted to explore her talents within the film industry, and by the age of 19 she dedicated herself to developing her acting craft for the camera. In 2010, she made her big-screen debut as Marie Currie in The Runaways starring opposite Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. People took notice; shortly thereafter, she starred alongside Orlando Bloom in The Good Doctor, directed by Lance Daly. Riley’s memorable work in the film, which premiered at the Tribeca film festival in 2010, earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Milan International Film Festival in 2012. Riley’s talents landed her a title-lead as Jack in Bradley Rust Gray’s werewolf flick Jack and Diane. She also appeared alongside Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike, directed by Steven Soderbergh, which grossed nearly $167 million worldwide. Further in 2011, she completed work on director Nick Cassavetes’ film Yellow, starring alongside Sienna Miller, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liota, as well as the Xan Cassavetes film Kiss of the Damned. As her camera talent evolves alongside her creative growth, so do the roles she is meant to play. Recently, she was the lead in the highly-anticipated fourth installment of director George Miller’s cult- classic Mad Max - Mad Max: Fury Road alongside a distinguished cast comprising of Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz and Nick Hoult.

    Forty Years “on the basis of sex”: Title IX, the “Female Athlete”, and the Political Construction of Sex and Gender A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Elizabeth Ann Sharrow IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dara Z. Strolovitch August 2013 © Elizabeth Ann Sharrow 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project bears the subtle (and not-so-subtle) imprints of many relationships developed and forged during my tenure at the University of Minnesota. These relationships have inflected my work in a variety of dimensions and I have long anticipated acknowledging them here. The University of Minnesota was my home for fifteen years. First, I experienced it as an undergraduate, a period during which I discovered the sport of rowing. The Minnesota Athletic Department announced in the spring of my freshman year that women’s rowing—a sport I joined at the club level after arriving on campus—would become a varsity team in the fall of 2000. This decision was driven by efforts to comply with Title IX, and it would forever alter the course of my life. I wrote my summa thesis on the policy, and have Wendy Rahn, Jamie Druckman, and Barbara Welke to thank for cultivating my interest in policy and politics through their roles as advisors of my undergraduate research. My career in rowing, at first a means to make friends and community on a sprawling Big Ten campus, became increasingly central to my life as an undergraduate and I would go on to coach at Minnesota for five years after completing my B.A.

Today, we’re talking about Season 6 Episode 9. It’s called “Impact Winter”. JOSH: This episode was written by Debora Cahn. This episode was directed by Lesli Linka Glatter. This episode first aired on December 15th, 2004. HRISHI: Two episodes ago, in episode 6:07, the title was “A Change is Gonna Come,” and I think in this episode the changes arrive. JOSH: Aaaahhh. HRISHI: The President goes to China, but he is severely impaired by his MS. Charlie pushes C.J. to consider her next step after she steps out of the White House, and Josh considers his next step after it turns out Donna has already considered what her next step will be. JOSH: Indeed. HRISHI: Later in this episode we’re going to be joined by Ben Murray who made his debut on The West Wing in the last episode. He plays Curtis, the president’s new personal assistant to replace Charlie. JOSH: A man who has held Martin Sheen in his arms. I mean, I’ve done that off camera, but he did it on television. HRISHI: [Laughs] Little do our listeners know that Martin Sheen insists on being carried everywhere. JOSH: That’s right. I was amazed all these years later when Martin showed up for his interview with us that Ben was carrying him. That was the first time we met him.
