Depiction of Female Characters Across 50 Years of Scooby-Doo
This paper seeks to uncover how female characters were depicted across 5 different Scooby-Doo television shows that were produced over a 50-year time span. I analyzed 3 episodes selected at random from the 5 shows to find common themes of how women were portrayed, and then I evaluated whether these themes were positive or negative. This allowed me to see if any progression, regression or no change at all occurred over 50 years.
