SOCIAL GROUPS: CHILDLESS WOMEN


  • Women are usually represented in film as lovers (and therefore potential mates) or mothers (with children or step-children). 
  • Stereotypical successful role models of women as mothers are seen in many films whereas childless women (and women who are working mothers) are often presented as counter-stereotypes in a negative way. 
  • A dystopian world where women cannot conceive is presented in Children of Men (Cuaron, 2006).
  • Girls are socialized as mothers through dolls.
