How American Gods Expanded Its Female Characters’ Roles

TheAmerican Godsnovel isnt teeming with three-dimensional female characters.

There are some really cool, interesting female characters in the book, but theyre tiny.

Theyre just sort of small parts of the book.

It wouldnt be as fun to watch.

Badaki echoes the sentiment, reflecting on her reading of the novel when it first came out.

What does this expansion look like?

Yes, some of us are playing goddesses, but theyre deeply human, she noted.

And so shes plodding through everyday like I guess what you were saying is happening with Laura.

I think people dont even realize how much Audrey has been expanded, too, noted Browning.

Theyre not any one thing.

And I dont think any of these women really are.

It shouldnt be that hard, really, to create three-dimensional characters.
