26 Iconic TV Shows Created by Kickass Women

A year after Weeds ended, Jenji Kohan was back with another, even more groundbreaking series. Orange Is the New Black (along with House of Cards) put Netflix on the map, elevating it from a simple streaming service to an original content provider to be reckoned with. The story is based on a real woman's experience in an all-female prison, and the series focuses on the lives of the prisoners, shining a light on women with incredibly diverse backgrounds. Uzo Aduba (one of many women of color on the show) has taken home two Emmys for her role as Crazy Eyes, and the show — which is wrapping up with season seven — has been nominated year after year for various Golden Globes and SAG Awards.
