The Changing Image of Women in Film​
Chapter One: THE BEGINNING
Generated Most Powerful Women's Films September 2025: Alien (1975), Thelma & Louise (1991) Erin Brockovich (2000, Mad Max Fury Road (2015), Hidden Figures (2016) and Wonder Woman (2017).
The aspect of womanhood, motherhood and old-fashioned romantic banter is significanty absent with the exception of Erin Brockovich and Hidden Figures., two non-fictional characatrswith male counterpoints as Ralph Nader and Eienstein (not your average woman homemaker or carreer emplyee). The charcter Signory Wevr playas inAlien couldeaily be played by a male actor, which is true in Mad Max Fury and Woner Woman, infact, there is a Superman.
And one hopes, the suiside tht ends is not pevelant ingirls (already written).
Hidden Figures is a powerful movie. However , it would be my wish that a woman name, as smart as Eensteing who did what she did woild have her name as the title,not to take awy from the other women wo so changed the wotld, but that the name so sn so would be remebred as much as einstein, Grneral Patton, and so orth, as he association other than Madan Curry of women of genius is lost to history...Name is now in documentaries almost a coverup of the woman eho....
Powerful Womens movies about a woman;s world of my chsng include:
How Green was my Valley. Blossms in the Dust, Big Fish,
motherhood
