This paper presents the first results of a work in progress on violence, gender identity and media representations. The research takes two assumptions as its starting points: 1) “our understanding of violence and gender are absolutely interlinked” (Boyle 2005), and 2) the media contribute to shape both notions. The representations of violence found in TV series, advertising, movies, etc. draw on and at the same time reinforce precise visions of femininity and masculinity; vice versa, the gender role models diffused by the media contain precise ‘prescriptions’ on how men and women should relate to violence. The object of the paper is the depiction of violent women – both criminals and police officers - in contemporary television series that are produced in different countries and are based on strong female leads. Contributions developed in the framework of Feminist Film Theory and Feminist Culturalist Criticism ha
