In honor of Women’s History Month, I decided to compile a list of films directed/written by women that center around female characters. And this was actually quite harder than I anticipated. Although these movies had female representation that was far superior to said representation in movies written by men, I still ran into some issues. As I looked through countless lists of movies by and about women, I found that so many of them — especially movies about women of color — focused on female pain and suffering. Although I was able to find a few happier movies, it was difficult to find those for a diverse group of women. It is incredibly important to portray the struggles that women — especially women of color — go through in film, but I wished there were more movies that you all could just straight up enjoy, since it is exhausting to watch female suffering at the hands of men on screen over and over. But then again, maybe it’s impossible to separate women from this pain, as it is something we all have to endure.
