Abstract

This research provides an in-depth analysis of the depiction of liberal feminism in the main character Amy Mitchell from the 2016 film Bad Moms, utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in John Stuart Mill’s feminist theory. Through a systematic examination of 39 data points derived from Amy’s dialogues, external actions, and internal reflections, the study reveals that Amy undergoes a transformative journey from an overwhelmed and compliant mother to an empowered woman who challenges the rigid norms of motherhood and professional life. The findings indicate that characterization through dialogue is the most dominant method conveying the liberal feminism value of challenging social norms, illustrating Amy’s active resistance against oppressive standards. The data show that Amy’s character arc represents a struggle for autonomy, equality, and social reform, as she navigates the complexities of modern motherhood and confronts the unrealistic expectations placed upon her. The research highlights how Bad Moms critically portrays the pressures modern mothers face while promoting themes of autonomy, equality, social reform, and empowerment, thus contributing to feminist film studies by illustrating the film’s role in fostering dialogue about women’s rights, identity, and social justice within contemporary culture. By examining the ways in which Bad Moms reflects and challenges societal norms, this study demonstrates the ongoing relevance of liberal feminism in promoting women’s rights and social justice today.
