Nelle Engoron is a freelance writer and editor. She blogs about television, movies, and related topics for Open Salon, a reader forum hosted by Salon.com (http://open.salon.com/blog/silkstone). Engoron wrote this critique of Mad Men during its third season. In the seasons since this was written, depictions of women on the show have changed as the characters have grown and matured, but much of Engoron’s critique still applies.
