Where are the science women in Eureka? When did the first one show herself? Why it took so long? What did you think of it?
When I watched Eureka, the setting bugged me much. If I remember correctly, the first seven or so episodes there was no women clearly working with science, only men, and the whole female population in Eureka seemed to have other jobs, often as house wifes. Not that there were something wrong with it, but after all Eureka is a city of scientist, and one would think there is female scientists too.
No, Allison doesn't count. She started as an agent, so not a science job (makes one wonder why they picked her to GD later, doctor or not).
Even the children we saw on the streets of the Eureka were little boys calculating things and being overall geniuses! Like that ones in the always same pictures at the beginning of the episodes.
Girls? Maybe they were at home where their mothers taught them how to bake.
There was a woman too, in the starting pictures! Carrying groceries and taking a dog out.
I know the (hard) sciences is still somewhat male territory, and it doesn't bug me when some random scientist are men in some show. But when you make a city full of stereotypes... That is just too much for mu inner feminist
