Whatnerd's 20 Best Feminist Movies of All Time

"Ever since second-wave feminism surged through the Western world in the 1960s (with a third wave in the 1990s), Hollywood has made many movies to empower and celebrate women's voices. Although not always successful—particularly in the case of poorly rebooted film franchises with all-female casts—there's a huge number of witty and progressive feminist films that deserve to be seen. They might be made for women, about women, or by women, and they aren't always of the all-in-your-face type of feminism. Here are my picks for the best feminist movies worth watching, how they were progressive, and what they did right in execution." - whatnerd.com
