This is an index to lists of female characters by occupation. Because many occupations are gendered, lack of females in some professions makes representations of them of inherent interest to a feminist project; similarly, lack of representation of males in some professions (sex workers, librarians) makes representations of them of inherent interest to a feminist project.
