Yep, women still horribly underrepresented in film
In a phenomenon that can only be described as “jeez, tell us something we don’t know,” a study by the Center for Study of Women in Television and Film reports that only 15 percent of film protagonists—and only 30 percent of speaking roles, period—are female characters. Statistics for nonwhite women are even more dismal: Researcher Martha Lazusen reports that film audiences in 2013 were just as likely to see an “otherworldly” female character as to see an Asian female character.
