After reading Theresa Rebeck's bio on wiki, it occurred to me that online we go on about male television and film writers a lot, but seldom mention female writers.
So here's a challenge to anyone who comes across this post - see if you can name at least five female television and film writers, also playwrites count. But include at least one favorite female writer for television. And name the tv show or film that she wrote. [ETC: Wrote this too quickly last night. Should have stated "Name your FAVORITE female television writer or film writer - the one you have followed who sticks in your memory that you are "fannish about"].
Here's my list and why I admire them and love them :

I came up with six. Can you come up with more?
