These roles allowed her to become hyper-aware of how women are represented in Hollywood. She spoke to The Guardian in an interview and talked about how women are treated in the industry. Geena went on to make a difference in the world….

Geena Davis is now an activist who sponsors research. Some of this research found that women make up only 17 percent of movie scenes. This research led to the founding of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media in 2006. This group aims to promote gender balance in movies and media. Geena wants women to be treated equally and frequently holds symposiums on the subject.
