Women in show business

Hello hello, it’s been a long time since I didn’t write an article (yes I did once...) .
To be honest at first I didn’t have very many ideas but as my mind was working I found a subject which is the place of women in  show business, music, art, etcetera…

In cinema :
according to a website in 2016 women represented :
4% of directors
11% of writers
3% of cinematographers
19% of producers
14% of editors
You can also add to that the fact that in history only one women won the Academy Award for Best Director (Kathryn Bigelow in 2010) and same for the Palme d’or (Jane Campion in 1993)

In music :
a recent study shown that 66% of the people working in the music industry are male.
An Australian study also said that 1 artist (musician) on 5 in the country was a woman and on the same study that 80% of the record labels were managed by men

In art :
I think the place of women in art can be well resumed by these two famous posters from the Guerrilla Girls











So that was a short article but I hope it refreshed your mind on the fact that the fight for equal rights isn’t finished yet !
With this, see you
