Great interview! A must-read. I am fascinated by the confusion that persists for women in this ever-conflating stewpot of perceived ambition, aggression, anger, and assertiveness. I have an old Gotham Girl post called "Day One of Ruth Langmore Assertiveness Training" that still makes me cackle.
I think I remember that post! The character was vividly drawn, and the actress went hard in the role. That show was often hard to watch but she made it impossible to miss. And lord yes, her assertiveness was spetacular, especially when it was tinged with contempt for all the stupid, incompetent men around her!

It was a TOUGH watch, but I loved HER.
