The new Netflix original series, Workin\u2019 Moms, aims to not only defy stereotypical female roles, it even blatantly points out the issue. The main characters Kate, Frankie, and Anne all illustrate real-world working women who endure the sexism and prejudice that comes with simply being a new mother.
