43 Great Feminist Movies to Make You Feel Empowered (Marie Claire)

Women have been lighting up the silver screen for ages (Cleopatra, anyone?), but we've only just begun to scratch the surface when it comes to sharing their stories through a proper lens. (Just ask Greta Gerwig, who managed to smash seemingly every box office record on the planet with her feminist take on everyone's favorite Mattel doll.)
After years of viewing movies through a male gaze, Hollywood has seemingly set its sights on the other half, churning out films that delve far more deeply into the lives of great women from the past than ever before. What's more, many of the best feminist films have also been directed by women, ensuring that they'll be relatable to a female audience.
We've compiled a list of the best feminist movies that know no bounds, from the action-packed (Kill Bill, we're looking at you!) to the ultra poignant. Keep reading to find out which empowering titles made the list.
