20 People Share Things They Love The Most About Girl Power Movies
It’s no news that actresses have been far less likely to be cast in lead roles than male actors, especially in specific movie genres.
Even when there are female lead roles, they are frequently not as nuanced or distinctive as male characters.
Most times, these characters fail to pass The Bechdel test, which involves two women speaking about something other than a man and requires that the women have names.
Although there’s still a lot to be done, the world has made massive leaps in gender equality.
This growth has become more evident in the media, with more women taking center stage on our screens, unlike before.
From strong female characters to female friendships, it’s now quite common to see female empowerment being celebrated on the screen.
This is crucial as this provides women with a role model other women can look up to and emulate.
