'Jessica Jones was a unique experience': interview with writer Edward Ricourt

Jessica Jones was a unique experience. There was so few opportunities for female leads and the comics portrayed Jessica as a strong female protagonist. Not a sex symbol. But someone who has gone through hell, and is brave. Strong. A hero. It was easy for me to say yes to the project. I hope Marvel decides to do more shows with female heroes. We have many female heroes through history. I have a daughter and I would like her to see people that look like her on the screen.
