- 'Hustlers' Based on a true story, four dancers band together to con money out of sleazy finance bros. Sure, what they do is totally illegal, but in a way they are taking the power back from the men that completely objectify them.
- 'Battle of the Sexes' This sports biopic literally pits women against man in the so-called tennis match "Battle of the Sexes." The film follows the story of top women's player Billie Gene King who comes out on top of societal stereotypes to beat former No. 1 ranked men’s player Bobby Riggs.
- 'Boston Strangler' Yet another film based on real-life badass female journalists, this new crime drama dives into the story of the 1960s serial killer dubbed the Boston Strangler.

Based on Margot Lee Shetterly’s book, Hidden Figures shines long-delayed light on three Black women who worked in crucial roles at NASA during the Space Race in the '60s. The film stars Taraji P. Henson as mathematician Katherine Johnson, whose calculations enabled the success of the Mercury-Atlas 6 orbital mission, marking a turning point in the r...
Based on the early life and career of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, On the Basis of Sexfocuses on the landmark case that would set a precedent for sex discrimination and set Ginsburg on a path to become the leading gender rights lawyer of her generation. Set in the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s, decades before she would become the seco...
Set in 1912, Suffragette (a term itself more common in the UK versus the U.S., where "suffragists" is more acceptable) recounts a group of working women who joined, organised, and fought for the women’s suffrage movement in the UK, and who were arrested, fired, beaten, and died for it. Movement leader Emmeline Pankhurst (played with ferocity by Mer...
Four actors — Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Lulu Wilson, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong — take on different incarnations of feminist icon, journalist, and activist Gloria Steinem in Julie Taymor’s surreal biopic The Glorias. Based on Steinem’s own iconic memoir My Life on the Road, the film traces her journey through a wildly eventful life as a champi...
In 1968, 187 female factory workers at the Ford Motor Company’s Dagenham plant in London led a law-reforming strike, demanding the eradication of sexual discrimination in the workplace. After walking out of their sewing machinist jobs due to a "regrading" of their job skill level (and pay) compared to their male co-workers, car production ground to...
Emma Stone is ace as tennis legend and gender equality activist Billie Jean King in Battle of the Sexes. Written by Simon Beaufoy and co-directed by Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton, this 2017 film centers around the famous 1973 tennis match between King and the overtly sexist Bobby Riggs (played perhaps with too much charm by Steve Carell). If yo...
The fact that no one has yet made a feature film about Marsha P. Johnson is outrageous, so here’s one of a few documentaries we’ve snuck into this list.The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnsonfollows the relentless pursuit of justice by activist Victoria Cruz as she investigates the suspicious death of the transgender icon in 1992 amid a broader loo...
Selmafocuses on the 1965 voting rights marches from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, which were organized and led by Martin Luther King Jr., James Bevel, John Lewis, and Hosea Williams, and those icons — played by David Oyelowo, Common, Stephan James, and Wendell Pierce — are fully given their due. However, it's earned a place on this particular list ...
Based on the true story of miner Lois Jenson and the landmark case that changed sexual harassment law in America, Niki Caro's North Country is a brutal, inspiring journey of resilience. In 1998, Jenson and her coworkers filed a lawsuitagainst their employer Eveleth Mines after enduring decades of unchecked abuse and harassment; it was the first cla...
As has been proved time and time again, the legality of abortion does not affect the existence or frequency of abortions, only the safety of them. Without access to legal reproductive healthcare, desperate women in 1960s Chicago turned to back alley medical care so often that hospitals had separate, designated septic abortion wards to address the a...
- Moana. If you're looking to watch a movie with younger kids featuring a strong woman who is also kind, brave, and compassionate... just watch Moana. Rated PG, the 2016 movie follows Moana, the strong-willed daughter of a Polynesian chief who is chosen by the ocean to find a relic for the goddess Te Fiti and save her village.
- Legally Blonde. Legally Blonde, rated PG-13, might not seem like an obvious pick, but that's why it's such a great movie to watch with older kids. Elle Woods is a stereotype-smashing feminist who goes after what she wants and, perhaps most importantly, learns to believe in herself along the way.
- The Princess and the Frog. Princess Tiana is absolutely the star of 2009's G-rated The Princess and the Frog. Sure she finds love with her prince, but that’s actually okay.
- Matilda. Do you know what kids love? Seeing a movie where they are smarter than the adults. Being a young girl can feel about helpless sometimes, and who doesn’t want to believe that, somewhere deep inside them, there is real magic just waiting to get out?
