HBO Developing Feminist Show Called 'Women's Studies'


I left HBO because of the litany of male-centered shows, and because I couldn't stomach Bill Maher's sexism anymore. A feminist show called Women's Studies might bring me back.

The new feminist show will star Julie White as a former feminist “it” girl author who now teaches at a small northeastern liberal arts school. If Julie White is in it I can guarantee it will be funny.

HBO is exploring gender politics with "Women's Studies," a comedy project from former "Daily Show" and "Colbert Report" exec producer Ben Karlin and "NYPD Blue" alumna Theresa Rebeck.
