  • “These Girls’ Fashion is Sick!”: An African City and the Geography of Sartorial Worldliness

As an urban feminist geographer with a research interest in African cities, I was initially pleased when the web series, An African City, debuted in 2014. The series was released on YouTube and also available online at www. anafricancity.tv. Within the first few weeks of its release, An African City had over one million views. Created by Nicole Amarteifio, a Ghanaian who grew up in London and the United States, An African City is offered as the African answer to Sex and the City, and as a counter-narrative to popular depictions of African women as poor, unfashionable, unsuccessful and uneducated.

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for its portrayal of women, often relegating them to stereotypical roles or marginalizing them based on age. However, in recent years, there has been a significant shift in the way mature women are represented in cinema and entertainment. This change is not only a reflection of the growing demand for more diverse and inclusive storytelling but also a testament to the talent, resilience, and determination of women who refuse to be defined by their age.

During Hollywood's Golden Age, women like Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, and Bette Davis dominated the silver screen, captivating audiences with their talent, beauty, and charisma. However, as they matured, their roles began to dwindle, and they were often relegated to character parts or forced into stereotypical roles as mothers, aunts, or villains. The industry's narrow perception of women over a certain age was mirrored in the limited opportunities available to them.

As we look to the future, it's clear that mature women will continue to play a vital role in shaping the entertainment industry. With more women taking on leading roles, creating their own content, and pushing for change, we can expect to see a more diverse, inclusive, and representative industry emerge.

The journey to this new era has not been without its challenges. Ageism and sexism have long been entrenched in the entertainment industry, making it difficult for mature women to secure meaningful roles. However, a growing number of women are speaking out against these biases, demanding more opportunities and pushing for change.

Social media and streaming platforms have democratized the entertainment industry, providing new opportunities for mature women to create and share their own content. Platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime have given rise to a new generation of female creators, including writers, directors, and producers who are pushing the boundaries of storytelling and representation.

Fast-forward to the present day, and it's clear that the entertainment industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Mature women are now taking center stage, and their contributions are being recognized and celebrated. Actresses like Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, and Meryl Streep have paved the way for future generations, demonstrating that women over 40, 50, and 60 can be leading ladies, not just supporting characters.
