Midge Maisel

Miriam "Midge" Maisel (née Miriam Weissman) is the eponymous character on the Amazon Prime comedy-drama TV show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
She is portrayed by Rachel Brosnahan, who voiced Wendy Beckett in Spies in Disguise and will portray Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman.
== Story ==
Beginning in 1958 New York City, Miriam "Midge" Maisel is a vivacious Jewish housewife and socialite who has put all her focus into being the perfect daughter, wife and mother. However, her life is turned upside down when her husband Joel, an aspiring stand-up comedian, suddenly leaves her for another woman. Reeling, she stumbles onstage at the local comedy club to deliver a drunken tirade about her situation and discovers her own skill in comedy. With the help of the club's curmudgeonly manager Susie Myerson Midge embarks on a new career in comedy while still picking up the pieces of her old life.
== Personality ==
Midge is generally a highly organized and commanding individual, and a socialite, who effortlessly takes control of a situation and authoritatively managing those around her. She helps others who are overwhelmed at her workplace.
She is usually very friendly and outgoing, and quick to offer help to her friends. She is also known for her fine taste and is able to quickly tell at a glance what makeup would best suit a customer at her workplace of B. Altman, as makeup seems to be a passion of hers, an example is that she even leaves a family vacation in the summer just for the chance to work at the makeup counter.
While she is performing, however, or when she loses control of her emotions, she is known for her quick wit, sharp tongue (and often profanity-laden speech), and for speaking her mind with little filter, which lends itself well to her stand-up routines, but sometimes has disastrous consequences.
She also displays feminist viewpoints, decrying the manner in which women were treated in America in the late 1950s.
== Appearance ==
Midge is a woman in her late 20s with blue eyes and a dark brown bob, her appearance seen to be bare some similarity to her mother. In college and during her early 20s, her hair was blonde. She is often seen in dresses that were popular during the era of the show's setting.
She also is always well-groomed with a large collection of hats and knowledge and passion for make-up.
