Abstract
Altered Carbon is a Netflix series that offers a valuable opportunity to analyze a significant contemporary media text from a Marxist feminist perspective. Altered Carbon is a snapshot of problematic modern conceptions of women in labor and society. Women's main avenues of survival are through their bodies and services they provide men. Female characters are still defined by their proximity to male characters struggling to be defined independently from the male. A potential avenue for these problematic representations to change is by changing the producers of media that rely on old stereotypes that confine women to secondary servile positions to men.
