The Bechdel Test, applied to some of the highest grossing films. The results are categorized by whether the film was written or co-written by women. To pass the test, #1 - Film has at least two women in it. #2 - Who talk to each other, about and #3 - Something besides a man. Yep, it's a pretty low bar. This study shows that when women are more involved as writers, the female characters are more active and interactive.
