Of course, it’s widely known women are much more likely to be sexualised in the media than their male counterparts. Indeed, women are three times more likely to appear partially or fully nude in movies, according to a Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California from Mount Saint Mary’s University in Los Angeles that studied the 100 top grossing films in 2014.

However, with more women getting behind the camera than ever before (think Reese Witherspoon and Margot Robbie, to name just two), things have slowly – very slowly – begun to change. And for the better, too.

It goes without saying that roles for women are becoming more complex, more diverse, more empowered. Just look at Lilly: a little over a decade after she launched her career as Lost’s Kate, a woman who spent much of her story arc chasing after two men on a deserted island, she has stormed into cinemas as The Wasp. Aka Hope Pym. Aka the first Marvel female superhero to get her own bloody movie.

Fingers crossed that next year’s report highlights the enormous impact of these female voices – not to mention the power of #MeToo and the Time’s Up movement. Because it’s hight time that we ushered in a new era of more brilliant, and more clothed, roles for women.
