26 Iconic TV Shows Created by Kickass Women

In 1993, Yvette Lee Bowser had a big first: she became the first African-American woman to develop her own primetime series: Living Single starring Queen Latifah as one of a group of female friends making their way in New York. The series, which was basically Sex and the City before Sex and the City, was just one of many other important black sitcoms that Bowser worked on; before creating her own show, she had been a producer on A Different World and Hangin' with Mr. Cooper.
