Title: How has feminism influenced animation
The film industry has been represented as male-dominant as soon as it became commercialised. It resulted in the inaccessibility of high-skilled and professional jobs for women only on the basis of their gender and therefore, the under-representation of the female experience in animation. The second and third waves of feminism brought the possibility to hire and promote more female workers. And the art of animation began to be filled with female protagonists of more than one male-gaze archetype.
