Dr. Martha Lauzen has been conducting the Boxed In study of women in television for 20 years. Here she highlights what this year's report tells us.
According to the author of the annual Celluloid Ceiling study, there has been more talk, but precious little action to increase numbers of women in behind-the-scenes roles in Hollywood.
