Queen Victoria in Bewitched. Harriet Tubman in Timeless. Amelia Earhart in Star Trek: Voyager. Historical women appear regularly in televised period dramas and biopics, but sometimes they also turn up in the strangest places, transported to worlds future or past via space operas, sitcoms, and time-travel series. This book covers 120 historical women on scripted television, shining a light on the representation of women in history through their representation on the small screen. The inspiring, fascinating, and sometimes heartbreaking stories of these women come to life in this book’s entries, which sort fact from televised fiction but also serve as a starting point for further investigation by TV fans, history buffs, students, teachers, and scholars.

    Alan Warren
    The late 1950s and early 1960s were the golden years of horror television.

  • Staging Nationalism
    Kiki Gounaridou
