Broad City Feminist Moments
Why Broad City's Abbi and Ilana Are Our Feminist Heroes

In many ways, Broad City best friends Abbi and Ilana are terrible role models. Ilana is a worthless employee, Abbi is a pushover, and both women are mostly irresponsible and broke. That said, I adore them, not only for their dagger-sharp wit but also for their modern, dirty take on feminism. They stand up for women and sex positivity without being too — or, frankly, at all — PC.
