“The Bridgerton Chronicle”, on Netflix, never ceases to fascinate, actor Regé Jean Page becoming the new darling of the Web. But if we are fans, the phenomenon should not make a perfect female cast invisible …
British actor Regé-Jean Page has been everywhere since The Bridgerton Chronicle, on Netflix, revealed his talents… and his pretty face. On Saturday, February 20, 2021, he was even seen participating in the famous American show Saturday Night Live in a hilarious parody of the series Shondaland, whose comic spring was the obsession with his plastic as well as his character of hot as ember duke. Regé-Jean-Page is also available in gif and memes where we see him licking a spoon in an already cult scene of The Bridgertons Chronicle do not share thousands. As for his career, it is skyrocketing. We will see it in the film adaptation of Dungeons and Dragons, as well as in a great Netflix production alongside Ryan Gosling, we learned on March 4, 2021.
If we are happy for him (and frankly fans), it is clear that this highlighting plunges the actresses of the series into the shadows. However, they embody women with a modernity that is still rare on our screens. The Bridgertons Chronicle indeed presents women in all their plurality. It's time to put them in the spotlight!

"The Bridgertons Chronicle": A Plot That Serves Female Characters
The Bridgertons Chronicle has the merit of being a story that serves women. If we focus on the Duke of Hasting, it is Daphne who is at the center of this story. In fact, Julia Quinn's debut volume, adapted in series by Shondaland, bears her name. We discover a young woman from a good family who, little by little, emancipates herself and explores her intimacy. Her relationship with Simon, the Duke of Hasting, makes it possible to deal with a subject that is still shy on television, but which is gradually finding its place: the beginnings of female sexuality.
Not to mention the other women in the series. Queen Charlotte, for example, faces the insanity of her husband, the King. A mental load that weighs on him more and more. As an Afro-descendant woman, the character of Queen Charlotte also makes it possible to explore themes related to the place of racialized people in society, but also that of mixed couples. Once more, The Bridgertons Chronicle aims fair by dealing with feminine narratives that are seldom exploited in pop culture.

The different stories that are intertwined in the show make it possible to represent women in all their plurality. From Eloise, who only dreams of being independent, to the shy but brilliant Penelope, to Lady Danbury, who embodies pure wisdom … We are served. Moreover, the women of The Bridgertons Chronicle serve for a lot of pillar to these gentlemen. After all, if Simon is so eloquent and attractive, he owes it to Lady Danbury who took him in, raised and above all, allowed him to gain self-confidence and emancipate himself as a man of color in the middle of the 19th century. .
