Watch out for these 5 female-centric movies and shows in 2021
Women are increasingly speaking up against inequality, oppression, and harassment. While some might choose to do so directly, some try doing it through Art; to propagate their message as have humans done since time immemorial. As Feminism, as a movement and a way of looking at life seeps into society, we get a plethora of movies and shows that are female-centric. Well, with the Covid restrictions not going away anytime soon, why not watch some of these?
We bring to you some female-centric movies that have released or will release this year and you can look forward to!
1. Sex and the City Revival:
One of the first glam shows to revolve completely around women and their friendships is making a comeback 23 years after its first episode aired.
