My writer and I sat down and wrote a huge list of names of women to consider. It was really important to us to have a broad range of women from across generations and cultures. We didn't want to make it Western-focused, we wanted to make sure it was international and that it had an intersectional lens.
I wouldn't call it a silver lining, but with more women speaking up, online harassment is beginning to be taken more seriously.
I'm no stranger to a bit of sexist backlash, but I was surprised by the level of vicious and misogynist hate I received.
I'm really thriving and enjoying being a part of a really vibrant creative team and doing creative work.
I really wanted to explore a range of women who aren't necessarily perfect, heroic women. I wanted to series to influence creative people to include more women in their work, especially historic works.
