Is being a woman in business still a liability? As Succession’s Logan Roy decides which of his four offspring might inherit his media empire throne, on paper his smart and hard-working daughter Shiv seems like the most capable contender. But Shiv feels she’s been treated differently for being a woman – and she’s right. Succession does a great job of dealing with not just how the “woman” dynamics realistically play out around Shiv, but also how they’ve shaped her psychologically.
