Little Women (2019) is, no doubt, one of the most popular and the best feminist movies in recent years. Also, if you are a fan of vintage styles and cottage music, watching Little Women with your friends is highly recommended!

In fact, Little Women (2019) is not the first movie adaptation of the famous novel with the same name written by Louisa May Alcott. So far, it is already the sixth adaptation, so director Greta Gerwig has had to undergo lots of pressure due to people's expectations for her work to surpass the previous five movies. Luckily, she succeeded! (Though we still highly suggest Gillian Armstrong's 1994 adaptation!)

Little Women (2019) is a visual and auditory feast. The movie is set in the 19th century and follows the March family: four girls and their mother, who is essentially their closest friend. Despite their disagreements, the four sisters remain endearingly close as they endure the trials of nineteenth-century existence. Actresses Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Laura Dern, and Eliza Scanlen all shine in this charming coming-of-age story.

Actress Carey Mulligan always has a propensity for portraying strong female characters; although Promising Young Woman is situated in a more regular setting. Direct Emerald Fennell depicts her crime drama in arresting hues, in which the pink color signifies danger - as opposed to the traditional innocence and childish femininity.

In the movie, the protagonist, Casie pulls out of med school out of bloodthirsty revenge after the suicide of her closest friend, which was caused by violent rape. On most evenings, Casie will dress up, go to a pub, and pretend to be so intoxicated and drunk that unscrupulous guys would definitely approach her. Once by herself in his home, she will mysteriously sober up and catch the guy like a deer in the headlights. Cassie, however, is still not satisfied with all that; she decides to take her retribution even further.

Given the film's tough topics, Mulligan's acting as a brave and "promising young woman" was praised. The film's exciting plot and meaningful conversations also contribute to its overall success as well.

If you are a millennial or a gen-X audience, the 1990s era is indeed one of the best golden periods for cinematic masterpieces, and we are certain you can still recall them now, even when gen-Z materials are dominating the markets! Indeed, we can name tons of timeless movies in this era, such as "Dazed and Confused" or "10 things I hate about you". And, of course, it would be a crime to overlook Clueless, an excellent movie that serves as a source of inspiration for many chick-flicks and feminist movies today.

"How absurd!" Cher Horowitz yells whenever a guy attempts to touch her. Her signature style, flawless manicure, affluent dad, )and not to mention, the gorgeous Beverly Hills mansions) place her at the very top of the social hierarchy in her high school.

She and her closest friend Dionne (portrayed by Stacey Dash) educate the "tragically uncool" newbie Tai (portrayed by Brittany Murphy) about the ins and outs of the fashion world. Cher has developed into a character with remarkable feminine strength, and is still considered a notable feminist icon in the cinematic world years after Clueless' release.

When it comes to the best feminist movies, Birds of Prey is an option you should not miss. We understand that Birds of Prey might not be the first choice that springs to your mind when you think of excellent films (after all, nothing associated with DC's Suicide Squad does!) But no worry, the updated portrayal of Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey serves as an excellent role model of feminists for younger audiences - to the point that after 2016, almost all girls had long blue-and-pink tresses for Halloween!

Margot Robbie's small shorts and sexualized performances in Suicide Squad used to spark a lot of debates, but this time, you can be certain that Birds of Prey was helmed by a woman director! Director Cathy Yan abandoned Harley Quinn’s long hair and provocative attire for a more approachable look. And instead of charming her way out of problems, Harley Quinn spends the majority of the film utilizing her intelligence and having slumber parties, balancing villainy with feminist sass!

Everything in the Legally Blonde movie screams femininity: Elle Woods confidently walks into Harvard Law school with a small Chihuahua dog in her handbag, donning fluffy gowns with the saturation of bright pink, and talking with her friends over makeup and manicure. And even better, in the center of all these feminine traits, she is also the blonde sorority member with a ditzy demeanor. (blonde girls were often called "dumb" by most people back then).

Despite the objection from many people (even her father), Elle Woods still decided to become a law student. And in the face of her ex-boyfriend's condescending attitude to her "brainless" personality, she was determined to prove herself capable of anything if she put her efforts into it.

Fans adored Legally Blonde not just for its humorous plots, but also for its message that it is possible to be both stereotypically feminine and intelligent. Actress Reese Witherspoon's legendary performance inspired a 2003 sequel and a 2007 Broadway musical. Even better, Legally Blonde is inspired by the real-life events of Amanda Brown, a girl that entered the Law School in Stanford and published a book based on her experiences in 2001!
