Advanced TV Herstory host Cynthia Bemis Abrams finds influence and representation throughout the depths of television, including the animated series, The Power Puff Girls (1998-2004).

As Third Wave Feminism took root, a rare animated series featuring three main girl characters Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup held up a magical, colorful mirror. Suddenly, for viewers of all ages, agency, problem solving and fighting for what's right were natural traits for girl characters. Cynthia provides the backstory of creator Craig McCracken and the controversy which the series generated among feminists and elementary school principals.
