Gender stereotype - Georgie in Our Girl 

stereotype is a set idea that people have about what someone or something is like, especially an idea that is wrong; for example, saying that all Blacks are good at sports is a stereotype, because it’s grouping the race together to indicate that everyone of that race is a good athlete.


In the TV series Georgie doesn't fit the typical stereotype for a women because women are seen to be house wife's that should be cleaning, cooking and raising the family, while the men are out working and earning the money to support the family at home. However, Georgie is working out in a war zone as a  medic surrounded by gunfire and explosions. This doesn't fit the stereotype on women because she is out in a war zone where they seen to be out of place, also the stereotype on men is that they should be looking after the women, in this case that doesn't happen as she is putting her life in danger ever day and ends up getting kidnapped .
