To What Extent Are Women Dominant & Independent?

Women’s representation in the media tend to revolve around the focus on physical beauty. However, women are often represented as being the victim or lover or being part of a context (family, friends and colleagues).

But, to what extent are they dominant and independent? Leading females are represented differently when directed by a male or a female director.

For instance, ‘Kill Bill: Volume Two’ (2004) has a male director Quentin Tarantino. This shows even though Uma Thurman was the protagonist in ‘Kill Bill’ she was still however acting on what Tarantino had wrote, this shows how a male is still dominating the film. However, women do have more power than before.
