BFI Screenonline- Female Protagonists

This piece of secondary research is very relevant to my topic as it expresses how female characters have usually always been restricted in the roles they play, for example it states that people complain that women in film are typically: mothers, virgins or whores. This shows how stereotyping has taken over, which proves even more so that my 3 key films, especially my focus film shows how the female characters break that mould of a stereotype and transform it into a realistic and equal view of women and female characters in film.
