In its third season, "Orange Is The New Black" has become a feminist utopia on our television, tablet, and laptop screens. It's critically acclaimed, created by a woman, written by a mixed-gender staff, and features a predominantly female, diverse cast. It's a blueprint for how to do women on television the right way, and while it is by no means perfect, its focus on complex, humanizing stories about women from all walks of life has been a breath of fresh air.

Could "Orange Is The New Black" have existed 10 years ago? Or even five? It's doubtful. The show is emblematic of an exciting moment on television -- a moment when it seems as though there are more quality, female-focused shows than ever before.
