If you’ve used the internet to read book or film reviews in the last decade, you’ve probably heard of the Bechdel test. Cartoonist Alison Bechdel introduced the test in her comic strip

It’s less a summative evaluation than a quick-and-dirty assessment of whether the work meets even a basic representational standard.
