Movies By Women

Are you tired of movies that treat women as accessories? That our stories aren't being told? Or just tired of year after year seeing old white dudes win the Best Director award?

Sign up for Movies By Women's weekly newsletter that let's you know when a woman directed movie opens up.

Movies By Women.com is an organization dedicated to “spreading the word” about movies directed by women. The main Movies By Women.com website includes information on historical women directors, current and past statistics on women directors, and also includes female director interviews.

They even advocate buying tickets to movies even if you can't make it - especially helped for those of us not in NYC and LA! Here is what is out and directed by women:
