Representation Of Women In The Media

Representations of women across all media tend to highlight the following:
· beauty
· size/physique
· sexual/fragile
· emotional dealings
· relationships
However, this has now changed as women are proving they are just as equal to men and take the same roles men do, because REE Milla Jovovich is represented as a hero/protagonist and is in control, as women tend to be represented as femme-fatal or a damsel in distress. Milla Jovovich breaks this tradition of women just as the 'propp' of a film. However, REE isnt the only film that represents women powerful also films such as 'Kill Bill'.
