Abstract

Considering the third wave of feminism, the building of figures in American sitcoms has presented new features. This study selects three contemporary feminist sitcoms, "2 Broke Girls", "New Girl" and "Girls", as the research objects, and analyzes the language and character characteristics and their attitudes towards gender relations to deconstruct the binary opposition between femininity and masculinity, and fully reflects the influence of Woolf's androgyny theory on the construction of female images in sitcoms under the third wave of feminism.
