Workplace feminism
in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’
By DANIELLE YACOBSON
Daily Arts Writer
Confession: After 10 loyal years,
I almost quit “Grey’s Anatomy.”
Killing off one too many of my
favorite characters seeded my
deep-rooted
grudge
against
the producers, and the angsty,
back-and-forth
relationships
were making me question the
legitimacy of love altogether. But
as I looked for an excuse to distract
from my newly acquired adult
responsibilities, I decided to give it
another shot. Much to my surprise,
season 12 has been rocking my
world. Exploding with Girl Power,
the latest season of “Grey’s” is
channeling the unstoppable force
of the head women in charge as
they unapologetically take on
their
tumultuous
professional
and personal lives in full stride.
Spending 42 minutes with Grey-
Sloan Memorial Hospital’s posse
every week is feminist gold, as the
women fearlessly run the medical
world one surgery at a time.
Obviously,
spoilers
for
the
entirety of “Grey’s Anatomy”
follow.
Season 12 starts up a year after
Derek’s (Patrick Dempsey, “Made
of Honor”) death, and Meredith
Grey’s (Ellen Pompeo, “Daredev-
il”) flawless opening monologue
could not encapsulate this sea-
son’s theme better: “Maybe you’re
wondering, why are we here? But
I promise, you’re about to find out
that everything has changed.”
As it’s hard to imagine a world
where Meredith and Derek are
not together, the show takes this
opportunity to shift the focus
away from a glamorized quest of
finding the perfect soul mate and
instead illuminates life after a
fairy-tale romance. In interviews,
Pompeo dedicates this season to
widowers as she explores their
stories through Meredith’s emo-
tional recovery. The 12th season
is all about Meredith finding her
way again, and so far, she exempli-
fies the formidable strength that
women can possess on their own.
Acknowledging that the wild and
passionate chapter of her life has
closed, Meredith is able to find
Experimenting
with
the
supernatural, David Mitchell
departs from the fantasy genres
of
his
previous
novels
and tries
his hand
at horror.
“It’s
a
genre
to which
I
am
a
stranger,”
confessed
Mitch-
ell in an interview with The
Michigan Daily. “I’m entering
the territory of Stephen King,
Shirley Jetson and other writ-
ers inspired by them, and I am a
sojourner in this territory.”
Sojourner or not, Mitchell
crafts five short stories of hor-
ror and intrigue that are artfully
combined under a story arc that
pulls the reader through a maze of
trickery and disbelief.
A
detailed
and
organized
writer, Mitchell has always had
his thoughts thoroughly planned
out before embarking on his next
novel. But upon the release of “The
Bone Clocks” in 2014, Mitchell
took to a brand new writing plat-
form and experimented with the
140 character limit of Twitter.
“I was curious as to whether it
would work or not,” said Mitchell.
“My thought was to kick it around
for a story.”
Over the course of 208 tweets in
July 2014, Mitchell wrote a short
story that eventually evolved into
the first of five stories introducing
the world to Slade House. From
the perspective of Nathan Bishop,
a
Valium-popping
13-year-old,
we’re introduced to Slade House
and the horrors that lie within.
The supernatural creatures that
occupy the mansion are over 100
years old and draw in their vic-
tims by creating a false reality to
captivate them. Bright colors and
potential friendship are the two
comforts that lure Nathan in, for
they’re the comforts that are so
evidently lacking in his home life.
“I wanted to look for a reason
within the story and within the
characters to use Twitter. The
solution I hit upon was to have a
kid who’s possibly Asperger’s or
on the autistic spectrum, because
it’s hard for him to handle reality;
it’s a kind of sludgy, unkind mess
for him. He’s stealing his mom’s
Valium tablets, which slow down
his bandwidth for reality, so his
mind must process them into
much more handleable pulses or
packets of informations, which are
the tweets.”
Similar to his previous books,
Mitchell addresses the theme of
immortality and how society and
humans approach the subject. The
villains of this novel are fueled by
the souls of their victims, and, as if
to torment us, Mitchell allows us
to grow familiar with each man,
woman and child before they fall
into the two demons’ clutches.
The twin brother and sister that
serve as the novel’s antagonists are
plagued by their mortality, which
causes them to commit heinous
murders to achieve immortality.
“Our culture does not equip us
very well to look mortality in the
face and to establish a produc-
tive working relationship with
it,” Mitchell said. “All our culture
really has to offer on the subject is
fear, but fear is not healthy. It’s not
a good state of affairs that we are
terrified of the one thing that will
inevitably happen to all of us.”
There’s a taboo on mortal-
ity in our society, one that pre-
vents us from facing the truth.
Demonstrated through Mitch-
ell’s monsters, humans will go
to great lengths and resort to
unspeakable deeds to remain in
this state of denial.
Although Mitchell explores a
fantastical world full of super-
natural misdeeds and missteps,
he incorporates a humane aspect
into the genre. The morals he tries
to communicate to the reader are
evident in his approach to moral-
ity and the consequences faced if
one continues to reject it.
“I look at mortality from the
other side, from the viewpoint
of immortals. I look at the whole
subject and look from their point
of view on how death is a part of
life, how death actually enhances
life and how the fact that we are
finite and know we’re finite makes
all the colors colorful as they are,”
Mitchell said.
Differing from his previous
novels, “Slade House” is notice-
ably shorter than its predecessor
“The Bone Clocks,” or his most
well known work “Cloud Atlas,”
which average 500 to 600 pages.
At 237 pages, “Slade House” is
noticeably short, but it doesn’t fail
capture the universe Mitchell has
created through his books.
Recurring
characters
and
subjects can be found in each of
Mitchell’s books, regardless of
whether the subject matter is the
same, and this novel is no excep-
tion. But this shouldn’t be a point
of concern for first time David
Mitchell readers. Mitchell encour-
ages even his companion novels to
be read and enjoyed independent-
ly of the others.
“If you haven’t read ‘The Bone
Clocks,’ then this is an entrée, if
you have read ‘The Bone Clocks’
then this is the dessert. If you
haven’t read ‘The Bone Clocks’
and never plan on reading ‘The
Bone Clocks’ then (Slade House)
is a – I hope – delightful stand-
alone dish.”
genuine happiness without relying
on a man, challenging the societal
assumption that women can only
be fulfilled in the presence of a
budding love life.
As the landscape of the hospital
changes, season 12 features a lead-
ing team of mostly female depart-
ment heads. With the exception of
Trauma and Plastics, the chief sur-
geons are all women, and Miranda
Bailey’s (Chandra Wilson) rise to
chief of surgery shows just how
powerful women in small pack-
ages can be. Their leadership and
“tough calls” go unquestioned,
and their authority is a force to be
reckoned with. “Grey’s Anatomy”
shows that women can take on the
most demanding jobs with just as
much respect as men.
Feminism in the workplace does
not stop there. One of the most real-
life scenarios depicted this season
is Meredith’s lowball promotion
salary and the hesitation she expe-
riences to confront her superiors.
In the third episode, “I Choose
You,” her lacking contract after
being promoted to chief of gen-
eral surgery shocks the rest of the
female chiefs, who urge Meredith
to stand up for what she has earned
and be compensated adequately
for her skills. The unconditional
support of women in the work-
place can be one of the strongest
catalysts for success, especially in
high-pressure fields like medicine.
It’s high time that women started
asserting themselves and ask-
ing for what they want instead of
expecting to be rewarded on their
own. Meredith’s composed and
confident negotiation is exactly
how women should be advocating
for themselves, refusing to accept
anything less than they deserve.
“Grey’s” wouldn’t be what it is
without workplace romances, and
nothing has changed now that the
women are in charge. In fact, many
of the female chiefs are now the
superiors of their significant oth-
ers. Bailey’s husband is a resident
and Maggie (Kelly McCreary) is
starting up a ship-worthy relation-
ship with an intern. In both cases,
the power dynamic has never been
exploited. Instead, displayed on
screen are functional relation-
ships that are grounded in mutual
respect for each other’s work.
“Grey’s Anatomy” is not the
show that I once knew and loved.
The majority of the original cast
has left (let’s be real — they were
killed off) and the ones that have
remained are significantly older
and are dealing with issues that I
(hopefully) won’t have to worry
about for at least another couple
of decades. Season 12 is different,
but good different. As the show
has evolved, the focus shifted to
encapsulate some of today’s most
pressing feminist issues, allowing
viewers to look through a different
lens at the doctors we have gotten
to know over the past 10 years.

WOMEN’S SOCCER
‘M’ seeks new narrative in
Big Ten tourney semifinals
By BETELHEM ASHAME
Daily Sports Writer
Three minutes. That’s all it
took for then-No. 10 Penn State
to score three unanswered goals
to end the Michigan women’s
soccer
team’s
regular season
last Wednesday
night. With the
3-1 win, Penn
State
clinched
the No. 1 seed
in the Big Ten
Tournament,
while
sending
Michigan
tumbling down
to fifth in the
final conference
standings.
That
might’ve been the story a week
ago, but plenty can change in
seven days. Fast forward to
Sunday afternoon, when the
Wolverines took on No. 4 seed
Northwestern in the Big Ten
Tournament quarterfinals.
Going into Evanston for a
winner-take-all
showdown,
Michigan needed a tremendous
team effort to keep its season
and its hopes of reaching the
NCAA Tournament alive. And
the team delivered with a gritty
performance ripe with heart and
fire, walking away with a 1-0
victory off a goal by junior forward
Nicky Waldeck. Coincidentally,
the score line mimicked the
Wolverines’ win over the then-
22nd-ranked Wildcats at U-M
Soccer Stadium a month prior.
A familiar foe now awaits
in the conference tournament
semifinals, where the Wolverines
will face off against none other
than the Nittany Lions. With a
place in the Big Ten championship
game on the line, Michigan is
hoping for a completely different
story this time around.
“I think Penn State got our
worst performance, so we’re
preparing to give them our best
performance on Friday night,”
said Michigan coach Greg Ryan.
“I’m very confident we’re going
to bounce back and play so much
better. Playing them once already
really helps us know exactly what
we’re up against. We know what
and how they will probably play.
This time, we’re in a much better
position to go out there and give
ourselves a chance to move on in
the Big Ten Tournament.”
In
their
fourth
straight
appearance
at
the
Big
Ten
Tournament, the Wolverines now
advance to the semifinals for the
first time since 2012. Considering
that they have not reached the
championship match since the
turn of the century, Friday night’s
match against Penn State looms
even
larger.
Fortunately
for
Michigan, it is well-equipped to
take on the challenge.
This group of Wolverines is
a loaded bunch. Senior captain
and defender Christina Murillo
is second in the Big Ten with
seven
assists,
while
redshirt
sophomore forward Ani Sarkisian
and sophomore forward Taylor
Timko are tied for seventh in
the conference with seven goals
apiece. Over half of Michigan’s
roster
has
contributed
a
point so far this
season,
while
11 Wolverines
have netted at
least one goal.
Four
players
have
double-
digit
points
—
Timko
and Sarkisian are tied with 17,
while freshman midfielder Abby
Kastroll and senior forward Lulu
Haidar are tied with 12.
That
doesn’t
even
include
the
Wolverines’
defensive
dominance. Michigan has shut
out nine opponents this season,
including three of its last four,
and has conceded just 19 goals
while allowing an average of just
seven shots per game. Coupled
with 36 goals scored to date, the
Wolverines boast an impressive
plus-17 scoring margin. But the
defense failed to contain Penn
State in its previous game and
must play significantly better
in order for Michigan to be
victorious.
“We don’t really have to
change what we do, we just have
to execute better,” Ryan said.
“We have to defend better as a
back line. We gave away some
pretty easy goals that would have
been fairly easy for us to defend.
Against a high-powered attacking
team like Penn State, we have to
be outstanding defensively. We
have been very good this whole
year in the back, so I’m very
confident that we can be.”
Another phase that gave the
Wolverines problems during the
first meeting was possession.
Usually accustomed to dictating
the run of play, Michigan allowed
Penn State too much time on the
ball and too much space in the
midfield, resulting in three goals
for the Nittany Lions.
“We really have to turn it on in
our ability to keep the ball,” Ryan
said. “We are going to make some
adjustments to get more players
around the ball and more players
a little higher up the park. After
they scored the first goal, we
stopped trying to keep the ball
ourselves. Against Penn State,
if you give them the ball back
every
time,
you’re going to
be
defending
all night, and
eventually
they’re going to
beat you.”
The
last
game left a sour
taste
in
the
Wolverines’
mouths.
Coming
off
a
big-
time
performance
against
Northwestern, the Wolverines
are determined to change the
story this time around.
“That huge win basically came
down to ‘How hard can we fight?’
” said Michigan senior midfielder
Corinne
Harris.
“We
ended
up proving that we’re not only
talented, but we’re a really strong
team that can play that hard and
match that level.
“We’re trying to take that level
of intensity into the Penn State
game. We’re getting stronger
in practice, and we’re ready for
a rematch, because we weren’t
happy with the way it went
before.”
Ready to put the past behind
them, the Wolverines now have
the opportunity to write a new
narrative.
