The Bechdel (or Bechdel–Wallace) test is a method of evaluating the portrayal of women in fiction. It was originally used to look at films portrayal of women, but is now used to test other forms of media.
To pass the Bechdel test you must meet 3 requirements:
- The work has to have at least two named women,
- who talk to each other,
- about something other than a man
It may seem simple enough but sadly a lot books, films, tv shows, etc. still fail this test.
