Representation Counts.

The Bechdel test is becoming more widely known as a way of gauging representation of women in media. It's not perfect but works, mostly because so many books, films and TV shows fail it.

Not afraid to face the facts, I have applied the test to my own book and compared the results to a well-respected science fiction film.

You have to get one green line to pass the test, though I think a graphic like this better displays how the result is achieved.

I like to think I did okay.

I will note that the graphic does not indicate how many conversations occur, just if there is at least one.

Have you applied the test to your own creative works and how did it do?
