History Series / ThePower2023

* EmotionalPowers: A lot of women and girls can only use the power initially when angry or fearful, such as while being attacked, with this spontaneoulsy activating due to their stress.

* SupernaturallyValidatedTransPerson: The show goes both ways on this. On the one hand, a male-identifying character develops the organ that allows women to project electricity because he's intersex. On the other hand, a trans woman taking estrogen develops the same organ.

* WorldOfActionGirls: As women develop the skein around the world, it causes this increasingly since they learn how to use their electrico-generating ability as a weapon. Those in Saudi Arabia revolt first, then also the Carpathian women, as the skein becomes a potent equalizer (and soon a superior attribute).

** Later Sister Maria reveals she's transgender to Eve. [[spoiler:It also turns out she's got the power, which is implied to result from her estrogen treatment, showing at least some trans women are getting this too.

* AdaptationalDiversity: The series has more explicit minority character than were in the books.

** Ryan reveals he has the skein to Jos, which is the result of him being intersex (as otherwise only cisgender women and girls are getting it).

* SympatheticMurderer: Allie finishes off her foster father after she's already incapacitated him through an initial shock form her power, at the voice's urging. Since he had just tried to rape her and it's implied he's a {{serial rapist}}, she stays pretty sympathetic.

* ActionMom: Zaia is heavily pregnant when she leads the slave revolt which frees her and the other women. She then leads them when they form into a rebel army, and doesn't let giving birth stop her. The last iconic shot of her in the first season is her holding a rifle in one hand as she simultaneously breastfeeds her baby, smiling joyfully [[spoiler:after her forces defeat the Army]].

** The nuns who take in Allie here include women of color, their leader Sister Veronica (who's Asian-American) most prominently. Sister Maria is also a trans women. While possible, there are no such details in the book. Further, they are renegade Catholics who broke off from the mainstream Church due to being LGBT-affirming (see Sister Maria). In the book, they are still part of the mainstream Church.

* HeManWomanHater: An online anti-femininst named Urbandox gains a large following by saying the evolution of the skein in women is a result of men having given up their "rightful place" running things through [[WeHaveBecomeComplacent going soft]] and calls on them to "retake it". Matt, who's Margot's teenage son, listens to and starts accepting his ideology, claiming that she's "emasculated" her husband, his father Rob, who does some traditionally female things like him cooking dinner for the family, even though she in no way forces him to (it's his preference). His views increasingly alarm Matty's family, especially Jos and Margot, driving them apart.

** Later, Eve gives the young women she met at the convent a sensation by electrocuting them while they're all in the ocean together.

* RebelLeader: Zaia, Tatiana's sister, is the leader of the women rebels in Carpathia, having previously led the revolt by her fellow {{sex slave}}s as well.

* PetTheDog: The heavily tattooed thugs in Carpathia arm give Tunde advice, and a pistol, without asking for any (additional) payment.
