Women in the Film Industry

About The Project

This project tackles the under and misrepresentation of women in films. It shows how these stereotypes and expectations can be harmful to young girls consuming this media. It provides examples of dated films as well as recent ones to compare the progress that has been made.

Hi, I'm Amanda and I'm a sophomore at Lane. I love watching films, reading books, and crocheting! I chose to do this project because growing up, I was exposed to films with bad representation of women. It made me think I had to look and act a certain way to be appealing. I also wanted to show some great, more recent films that have way better representation and that are empowering.
