Abstract

For a long period of time, female characters were not able to have their own voice to tell their stories, because of this, women in the film industry decided to create a space where the story is told by and for the understanding of women. This paper aims to analyze the influence of feminism in the construction of female characters throughout Greta Gerwig’s filmography. To develop it, a qualitative methodology was used through interviews conducted with feminists who watched Lady Bird (2017), Little Women (2019) and Barbie (2023), films directed by Greta Gerwig. In the same way, a content analysis of the aforementioned films was applied. Said analysis was carried out through matrices belonging to the aesthetic and ethical dimension with the purpose of distinguishing visual, narrative and discursive elements corresponding to the female characters. Thus, it was concluded that Gerwig’s filmography addresses aspects pertaining to feminism that were seen not only in the themes of the films, but also in the visual and ethical construction of the female characters.
