Number of Hollywood hits directed by women falls to 20-year low
‘Radical underrepresentation’ of women in the film industry remains unchanged, says annual study
Only 8% of Hollywood’s top films in 2018 were directed by women, down from 11% the previous year, despite high-profile efforts to improve gender equality.
The percentage is roughly unchanged from two decades ago, according to an annual study, which found a “radical underrepresentation” of women in the industry.
