Women of My So Called Life (1994-5)
Winnie Holzman, lead writer. Paley Center interview with Claire Danes & Bess Armstrong
Claire Danes' Angela is a teenage philosopher & asker of rhetorical questions. While much of the short-lived series' stories revolve around timeless teenage angst, there's an embedded perspective of Holzman, as female storyteller. This podcast episode explores mother-daughter relationships of the mid-90s, early days of the internet's arrival into households, but before social media and phones changed family life.
