1970's

'Star wars' - (1977)


'Alien' - (1979)

'Star wars' is a predominently male leading cast with Luke Skywalker, Obi Wun Kunobi, Hans Solo etc, however the female role is princess leia, she is seen as fragile but can put up a fight when needed and she does not conform to the traditional sterotyped female that always needs rescuing, however this does happen in the movie. While on the other hand 'Aliens' is about a woman that defies all odds to kill aliens, she shows power and reinforces the strength of women as the 70's became the second wave of feminism.
