Movies play a key role in spreading awareness among women, uncovering their potential, challenging their male-dominated world and compelling social change. Historically, the film industry has portrayed women as wives, lovers and mothers, or as glorified objects of beauty, symbolizing entertaining sex appeal. Due to the feminist movement, gender stereotypes are being challenged, with more complex female characters represented on screen. This course addresses the greater recognition women film directors are beginning to receive, and honor twenty remarkable women who blazed the trail forward.
