Full Frontal with Samantha Bee
Abstract: Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is a rare example of unabashed feminist conviction on television. Amber Day describes how the program invites audience members into a community wherein a feminist perspective is common sense, striking back at the trolls who would shout down outspoken women, and reclaiming feminist anger as both empowering and fun.
