bechdel test and its impact on hollywood

The Bechdel test is a simple measure used to evaluate the representation of women in films. It requires a movie to meet three criteria: (1) It must have at least two named female characters, (2) who have a conversation with each other, (3) about something other than a man. The test has had a significant impact on Hollywood as it highlights the gender disparities in film storytelling, prompting the industry to be more aware of and strive for better female representation, diversity, and more meaningful female character arcs.
