There are many female comedians that are showing their own perspectives on television today. There's Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer of Broad City; Mindy Kaling of The Mindy Project; and Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair of Playing House to name a few. It's definitely refreshing since men have been dominating the comedy scene for so long.
Amy Schumer is one of those comedians that headline her own show, Inside Amy Schumer. And we love her for it! Many of the sketches have so much truth in them while being funny. Some of them are so true it's uncomfortable. I mean have you seen her "A Very Realistic Military Game" sketch? If not it's a must see. There is no doubt that Amy brings feminist points up in a brave way.
The comedian is definitely known for being raunchy and toeing the line of controversy. Part of that has to do with the fact she's not afraid to show the unflattering sides of being a woman. But she should also be recognized for being a smart and powerful person.
