Whose crumbs the crows inspect
And with ironic caw
Farmer’s corn
Men eat of it and die
Dickinson is an absolute treat, a woman-oriented dramedy which has frolicking humour and imagines the story of Emily as a teenager who rebels against societal norms. Season 2 of the series arrived recently, and it’s even better than the first with the gorgeous Hailee Steinfeld (playing the poet) revelling in furthering this anachronistic story about the joys of anonymity.
Riffle through the libraries of streaming platforms, and you will find assorted and diverse stories about women characters. It may be somewhat inadvertent but the extraordinary rise of streaming content in India has enkindled a new wave of binge-worthy female-centric stories, charting their struggles and aspirations. A far cry from the trite stereotyped roles women played in films, and on television, in the 20th century as lassies being serenaded by men, or as steadfast housewives.
