Women and Film

Women in action movies. The genre is traditionally very male but we have seen females become main protagonists. The big question is to what extent do they depart from traditional reps of femininity? Do they escape objectification? Are they subject AND object? Are they a step forward or backward from the female action heroes of the past (eg Sigourney Weaver in Alien etc)? Which do women like the most? YOU ASSUME Sigourney Weaver, but is that the case?
