Eastenders

I will look at Eastenders because their main focus is often on family. However, at the top of all this families, are strong single parent women, making it very matriarchal. There are characters such as Peggy, Mo, and Pauline. It is interesting to see this as classic soap operas aim to reflect the nations general family life, and in the past it has portrayed families eating together at meal times with classic two point four children. Now, it portrays the single-parent families which are often the case in many family homes.
