description This article examines the evolution of gender stereotypes and the roles portrayed by female characters in the TV series “Why Women Kill” (created by Marc Cherry in 2019). It takes a close look at how these stereotypes and roles are represented through the series' protagonists, whose stories unfold in three distinct time periods. This approach enables us to vividly trace the changes in these portrayals over time. Drawing on insights from gender studies, cultural studies, and visual studies, this analysis examines the physical and psychological characteristics of the characters and explores their interpersonal dynamics with other characters. Despite being a specific work of media, this exploration allows us to construct a comprehensive overview of how gender roles and stereotypes have evolved across decades, influenced by various waves of the feminist movement and societal progress in this realm.

Así, se atiende a la representación de estos estereotipos y roles a través de las protagonistas de la serie, cuyas historias se ambientan en tres épocas diferentes, lo cual permite trazar claramente dicha evolución. Partiendo de los estudios de género, los estudios culturales y los estudios visuales, se propone un análisis de los personajes anteriormente mencionados atendiendo a sus rasgos físicos, psicológicos, y a las relaciones que mantienen con otros personajes. Así, pese a tratarse de un producto concreto, permitirá elaborar una visión general sobre la evolución de los roles y estereotipos de género a lo largo de las décadas y la influencia de las diferentes olas del movimiento feminista y avances sociales en esta materia.Este artigo reflete, com base na série Por que as mulheres matam (Why Women Kill, Marc Cherry, 2019), sobre a evolução dos estereótipos de gênero e dos papéis assumidos pelas personagens femininas.
