Given the significant amount of successful television series centered on male antiheroes, such as The Sopranos, Mad Men and Dexter, this article seeks to discuss the issue of female representation in American television series, in pursuit of female antiheroes. Past and present female representations are analyzed, highlighting recurring roles and their social implications. In order to evaluate the contemporary context, when more complex female characters begin to appear, we analyze the television drama UnREAL and assume that, although current dramas point to a diversification in the representation of the female experience in fiction, anti-heroines are constructed by emulating elements either traditionally associated with the masculine universe, or with usual gender stereotypes.Keywords: Television Series. Antihero. Female Characters. RESUMOTendo em vista a expressiva quantidade de séries televisivas centradas em anti-heróis com destaque nas últimas décadas, tais como The Sopranos, Mad Men e Dexter, este artigo busca pensar a figura da anti-heroína. Para isso, apresentamos uma perspectiva histórica sobre a representação das mulheres nesse tipo de produção, destacando papéis recorrentes e suas implicações sociais. Para problematizar o contexto contemporâneo, quando personagens femininas mais complexas começam a aparecer, tomamos como objeto central da análise o drama e partimos do pressuposto de que, embora apontem uma diversificação nas formas de representação da vivência feminina na ficção, as anti-heroínas são construídas através da aproximação ora com elementos tradicionalmente associados ao universo masculino, ora com habituais estereótipos de gênero.Palavras-chave: Séries Televisivas.

“…Unlike media depictions of the middle classes as wise repositories of knowledge with impeccable tastes to boot, television depictions of working-class men in blue-collar occupations-from Archie and Al to Homer, Raymond, and George-typically reinforce counter-hegemonic images of blundering buffoons or the hopelessly baffled (Houpt, 2010;Palmer-Mehta, 2006). Second, internal variations are no less significant: In contrast to the largely negative framing of blue-collar workers is the positive onscreen treatment accorded those in professional working classes like police, nurses, and firefighters (Feasey, 2008;Malin, 2010). Third, gender differences must also be taken into account: Gender status is often inverted when working-class wives are portrayed as more intelligent and sensible than the putative head of the household and prime breadwinner.…”

“…Laki-laki hegemonik adalah laki-laki yang kaku, kuat, sukses, kompeten, serta otoriter yang mendapatkan reputasinya dari tempat ia bekerja dan meraih harga dirinya di area publik (Feasey, 2008). Dengan kata lain, konsep maskulinitas dominan adalah laki-laki yang memiliki kekuatan dan berkuasa.…”
