Gillian Jacobs had to fight for equality in the entertainment industry after she was told that she couldn’t be a comedy writer by an agent who stated that being a woman wasn’t funny. She fought back, took her writing to L.A., and eventually found success.
Jacobs is one of the most successful female comedians around, receiving three Emmy Awards for her writing and producing work on Netflix’s OITNB .
