Today’s women in the films and web series that we see are just like their real-life counterparts, determined and ready to take over the world. They empower, encourage and inspire millions around the globe to be a better person and work towards a better tomorrow. As the world gears up for International Women’s Day on March 8, there could be nothing better to do than to watch some women-led shows that inspire everyone. With a bunch of such women-centric web series available on various platforms, here`s five of the very best with the lead actress packing a punch.
Miriam “Midge” Maisel is an inspiration to many! Set in the London of ’50s and 60s, when a woman’s success was measured by her marital status, she defies all odds by choosing to be a single mother and take the reins of her career in her own hands. It’s a role to marvel at as Midge (played by Rachel Brosnahan) inspires women to realize their self-worth and free themselves from societal expectations. Having delighted audiences over three terrific seasons, viewers can get to see her live her passion and succeed as a strong single woman in Season 4 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel that’s currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The web series, along with Rachel stars Tony Shalhoub, Alex Borstein, Marin Hinkle, Michael Zegan, Kevin Pollak, Caroline Aaron, and Luke Kirby and is written and directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino.
