What is Feminism?? Will 'Max Max: Fury Road' or 'Promising Young Woman' Tell Us?!?

We're back! Daniella and Stefan talk about women's empowerment (well, white, cis women's empowerment, let's not kid ourselves) and how it is portrayed in 2015's 'Mad Max: Fury Road' and 2020's 'Promising Young Woman.' How do these movies aim to empower the women at the center? What constitutes as feminism in a movie? Why was comfort around issues of empowerment so different between these movies? All this and more!  In lieu of advertisements, we'd like to encourage you to support Blue Tin Production, a sewing co-operative run by refugee and immigrant women. Blue Tin Production seeks to provide highly-skilled refugee and low-income immigrant women full-time work in Chicago, producing clothing for designers and brands nationally, while simultaneously meeting mental and physical health, legal, social service, child care, transportation, language, and other needs of its members.
