Task 3: Mini Analysis
Conduct a survey of 3 films where women characters have dominant careers.
Answer the following: (You may want to make a chart to fill in)
Is the woman consider successful at their job? (How would you define success?)
Are they more successful or less successful by the end of the movie than they were at the beginning?
Is the woman happy at their job? (How would you define happy?)
What else is going on in the woman’s life besides their career?
At the of your chart/notes please spend a paragraph comparing your findings. How would a modern day feminist feel about these characters?
