Women now star in as many films as men, reversing 80-year trend
Briefly

Recent studies reveal that women are starring in films just as much as men, a reversal of trends dating back over 80 years. According to research, 42-54% of the top films feature female protagonists, showcasing a significant shift in gender parity. This change is remarkable as it marks the first time since the mid-1930s that women and men are nearly equally represented in cinema. Such progress appears stable and reflects broader cultural transformations regarding women's roles in film.
The analysis indicates that we're on the verge of gender parity in cinematic representation, a historic shift unseen since the 1930s.
Achieving this balance seemingly happened organically, and the numbers reflect a significant change in representation over the past few years.
