The “Mad Men” Effect: How Jon Hamm’s Show Gave Women Writers A Boost

The show, which follows advertising executive Draper from the 1950s to the 1970s, has historically fared much better in behind-the-scenes Emmys categories. Most notably, it has produced more nominations for women writers than any other TV show of the last decade, according to a 10-yearanalysis published this week by the Women’s Media Cen-ter, a nonprofit that examines women’s representation pri-marily in entertainment and journalism

Women working behind the camera make up just 25% of 2015 Emmy nominations

Women make up a quarter of the writer, director, producer and editor nominees at this year’s Emmys—up slightly from a total of 22% of nominees over the past 10 years, according to a study from the Women’s Media Center

Nominations for the 67th Emmy Awards, which air Sunday, reflect a large gender disparity as women make up only 25 percent of this year’s nominated writers, directors, editors and producers. That percentage has shown little improve-ment over 10 years, according to a report conducted by non-profit the Women’s Media Center, which examined Emmy nominations for writing, directing, editing and producing from 2006 through 2015

Emmy Acting Nods Withstanding, Women Still Not Killing It In Hollywood

Clearly there is a connection between the broadcast, net-work, cable, and Netflix programs that hire exclusively male creators and the industry-wide gender divide. When there are few jobs for women, it is easy to see why so few women in non-acting categories are recognized for their excellence, Women’s Media Center president Julie Burton says.
