In its first season, the show has explored what it means to be both feminine and feminist in the world of country music and television. Khouri is a film veteran who wrote 1991’s Thelma & Louise, a feminist classic that also won her the Academy Award for best original screenplay (typically a heavily male-dominated category). Into this complex terminology, enter Rayna James (Connie Britton) and Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), the lead characters of ABC’s Nashville, created by former Nashville resident Callie Khouri. As for the second, the term feminism is now so loaded with meaning, confusion, and incorrect associations, that it has become all too common, especially among young women, to disavow the term entirely. In regard to the first, there are as many examples of femininity in the world as there are people (not just biological women) who embody them. BOTH FEMININITY AND FEMINISM have become harder and harder to define in 2013.
