what's the bechdel test
What is The Bechdel Test? In case you're not familiar with it, the Bechdel test is a very basic measure by which to gauge gender bias. Originally, in Alison Bechdel's comic, Dykes to Watch Out For, she was referring to films, but the test is now used in evaluating all kinds of fiction. The Bechdel test sets a very low bar for female presence in a film/play/book by asking three simple questions.
