In honor of this day, we have collected the most striking, strong and creative videos of recent years, which raise the theme of feminism, equal rights and stereotypes regarding women still existing in society.
Cynthia Nixon for Girls. Girls Girls
The star of the series “Sex and the City”, politician and director Cynthia Nixon starred in the video for Girls magazine. Girls Girls, about which the whole world spoke at the end of February. The actress reads a manifesto about conflicting stereotypes that women face every day. Cynthia’s monologue is based on the text of the student Camille Rainville of 2017, which to this day remains extremely relevant.
Madonna for Vogue
Three years ago, in honor of International Women’s Day, an American singer Madonna and German Vogue presented a short black-and-white feminism film entitled “Her Story: Women Who Fight for Their Rights.” The video consists of eight scenes, each of which shows the stages of the feminist revolution. The video lasts almost 13 minutes, but it is definitely worth your attention.
Elle
In 2015, the editors of the British magazine Elle filmed a video on feminism to show why it is important for women to assert their rights.
