She claims that movies are now limited to what they can mean and actors do not have
Similarly, she discusses how many female directors were afraid to even attempt to direct a Wonder Woman film (149). Altogether, Howell argues many valid points along with examples of the gender bias in popular culture. With her focus on DC Comics and their failed attempts to market and produce a film for a character, such as Wonder Woman, was a solid representation of the gender bias that has and continues to exist in popular culture. Charlotte E. Howell argued many great points in her article, “Tricky” Connotations: Wonder Woman as DC’s Brand Disruptor.” Just as DC Comics had
A woman having multiple relationships on film is considered revolutionary.
In the movie “A League of Their Own”, one can see how the more sexist views of the culture in the 1940s and 50s in America was present in the Girls Professional Baseball League. “A League of Their Own” is a movie about what was once the “All-American Girls Professional Baseball League” which was formed when the young men were sent over to serve in World War II. One of the most obvious cultural views that this movie shows is the feminizing of the baseball players to make them “more acceptable and women like”. Unlike men’s uniforms, that include a full shirt and pants, they were to wear skirts that were very short, too short to play baseball in comfortably. This alone shows how this league was just as much about show as it was about the women’s talent.

Cindy Sherman’s Untitled Film Stills series made between (1977-1980) shows different stereotypes of women in different everyday situations. This series consists of the artist posing as those female roles in seventy black and white photographs.

In this paper, I examine Cindy Sherman’s work and how my work is inspired by or relates to her work.
Who is she? Charlize Theron is different; she will always be a South African girl who will do anything for her movies, be happy in what she does, and she will always have her best friend. Theron’s childhood was spent in her native South African home, where her parents ran a road construction company(snyder). She didn’t finish high school or go to college(winfrey).
Despite her adventurous side, she has a more calm, serious side with limitations as well. Displaying her personality in the film has shown
The novel Pride and Prejudice can easily be picked apart through a feminist lens. The farther into the book one goes, the more there is to critique and analyze through a feminist lens. The book is about Elizabeth Bennet and her relationship with her eventual fiance Mr. Darcy, the ups and the downs of their relationship. Elizabeth was never a woman who only craved the attention and approval of men, she was her own person with her own complex emotions.
While there are many obstacles that still await, hope can be derived from works of art. Wonder Woman is a piece of art because it possesses a deeper meaning than most films in the action genre. Accordingly, Wonder Woman can be considered a representation of feminist art as it depicts a character with mighty qualities and attributes. As films with women led casts continue to rise in popularity, one day it could be possible people look back at this film and realize how impactful it truly
