Doctor Who Extended Media Review – Women in Doctor Who: Damsels, Feminists and Monsters by Valerie Estelle Frankel

Women in Doctor Who by Valerie Estelle Frankel was published by McFarland books in 2018.

I was very impressed by the depth of Frankel’s analysis. She did not just discuss the TV companions but went into all aspects of the subject covering all of the extended media. Mentions were made of; John & Gillian, Jorjie from the K9 series, the kids from Class and the Sarah Jane Adventures, Olla, Izzy, Destrii and Courtney Woods to name just a few. Characters were examined for all parts of their attributes and evaluated with the Bechdel Test. 9 out of 10.
