The movie "Miss Representation" discussed the need for more women to not only have the starring roles in movies (and hold them independently of men), but also produce and direct more movies. While we still have a lot of progress to make, here is a video that showcases some of Reece Witherspoon's advancement on this issue.

Thanks for sharing this Reeve! Reece Witherspoon's speech is really empowering, and I especially loved this quote: "Films with women at the center are not a public service project. They are a big time, bottom line enhancing, moneymaking commodity." I also appreciate how she calls on all women, whether they are scientists, entrepreneurs, teachers, or caregivers, to ask, "What do we do now?" I agree that it's important for women of all backgrounds and ambitions to be better represented in our country's leadership roles.
