24 Surprisingly Feminist Sci-Fi Films

Good science fiction movies are hard to find, but good feminist science fiction movies are even more rare. At least they were until Ridley Scott's 1979 smash hit, Alien, was released. Years later, the legacy of the film's female heroine, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), is still felt in the sci-fi genre. And this is seen most obviously in the growing popularity of strong female heroines in science fiction movies, as seen in the 17 most feminist sci-fi movies ever. Each of these 17 science fiction movies feature strong female characters who fight their way out of male expectations and gender roles placed on them by the patriarchy. In other words: they're pretty awesome.
