With the premiere of her TV series “Dare Me,” the novelist-turned-showrunner is taking her knack for humanizing beyond the page.
Though Abbott’s work itself isn’t inherently political, the mission feels like a form of activism: Create a space where women’s ambition isn’t dismissed, it’s explored. In society, she says, women are not supposed to be “angry or be the boss or take control of things or talk too much or be shrill. But if you don’t do those things, you’re kind of trapped in this passivity. The repressing of all these feelings should be expressed because they’re going come out in other ways.
Most of Abbott’s work juxtaposes teenage restlessness and ambition, the complicated ways young women behave when their big dreams and reality collide. In“There’s something dangerous about the boredom of teenage girls.” Such a statement could seem overwrought, but instead reflects a far too pervasive national fear about our girls. If we control them, tell them what to do, keep them busy, they can’t get in trouble. They’ll be safe.
