Women and Hollywood: When I started the site nearly seven(!) years ago, research on women onscreen and behind the scenes was sparse. The good news is that, today, studies on this subject arrive regularly from all types of sources.
Dr. Stacy L. Smith, Marc Choueiti, and Dr. Katherine Pieper at USC's Media Diversity and Social Change Initiative have added their latest comprehensive research study of the top 100 grossing films over the last six years to the discussion. I love these folks because their research is broad; they look at women working behind the scenes (and those numbers are strikingly small), as well as what's happening on screen in a variety of categories, including the hypersexualization of girls.
