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.)
