Kiernan Shipka identifies with feminist character

As young Sally Draper on “Mad Men,” Kiernan Shipka played one of many female characters stuck in the patriarchal system of 1960s New York. Now, the 18-yearold actress is taking on a decidedly more feminist role with the new Vancouver-shot Netflix series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” Shipka’s lead character is a half-witch, half-mortal who challenges the “dark lord” and the misogynistic conventions of her town of Greendale. “The writers’ room is super women-heavy, and I think the show then inherently has a feminist tone to it, so that’s pretty awesome,” Shipka said in a recent phone interview.
