'Project Blue Book': The only two women in the show are setting their own trends even while representing the post-war era

With their fashionable '50s outlook, the two women serve as harbingers of the modern woman that we know, albeit in their own different ways

History Channel's 'Project Blue Book' has brought back everything representing the '50s on screen, including the era's conservative nature that did not allow women to take the front seat. In the Robert Zemeckis production, women certainly do not have a major role to play and what is even more disappointing is that there are only two leading women who appear every now and then on the show. However, even with the limited screen time given to them, Laura Mennell's Mimi Hynek (Dr. J Allen Hynek's wife) and Ksenia Solo's Susie Miller are probably the most suitable representation of the women of that era.

Starring alongside Aidan Gillen as Dr. J Allen Hynek and Michael Malarkey as Captain Michael Quinn, 'Project Blue Book' sees Mimi and Susie bond over a very short period of time, and soon develop a strange relationship that neither of the two can comprehend.
