Sure, the early feminist movement ended in the 70s, but the fight for gender equality is far from over. Whether it's our media world, political systems\u00a0or professional realm, sexism and gender stereotypes still plague our society today.<\/p>

Thankfully, filmmakers<\/a> and producers have not let this unjustified phenomenon go unnoticed, as they have utilised their gifts of storytelling and cinematography skills to capture the essence of feminism in both developed and undeveloped societies today. From the struggles of girls and women<\/a> in traditional male-dominated societies to empowering <\/a>stories of successful female entrepreneurs, these documentaries touch on a myriad of themes and social issues\u00a0which desperately seek\u00a0our\u00a0attention. Although they give audiences a glimpse of both ends of the spectrum in the enigmatic world of gender, they all convey a single message - the monumental importance of equality in our world today.<\/p>

Ready to dive right into the world of feminism and be empowered by stories from all across the world? Then head over to our gallery where we've picked out 10 powerful documentaries every female has to watch!<\/p>
