What we see in movies matters: it affects our hobbies, our career choices, our emotions and even our identities. Right now, we don't see enough women on screen or behind the camera -- but waiting for Hollywood to grow a conscience isn't going to fix the problem, says Naomi McDougall Jones.

What it's like to be a woman in Hollywood

Most films are shaped by a narrow perspective, with 95 percent directed by men and leading to female characters who often lack depth or agency. The stories audiences watch deeply influence their fears, self-image, and ambitions, as seen when movies like 'Jaws' and 'The Hunger Games' changed public behavior. Despite graduating from film schools at equal rates, women direct only a small fraction of movies, yet films by and about women earn higher returns. Change will not come by waiting for Hollywood’s consent, but through collective action and investment in untold stories.
