The lack of women in Hollywood is obvious. From directors,
to actors, to editors men dominate the film industry and receive all of the
publicity, media coverage, and praise that comes with their domination. Women struggle
to stay relevant in an industry that often discards their work and ignores
them. The film industry often chooses to focus on bodies rather than their
talent or work when it does choose to see them at all. One woman in Hollywood
who worked endlessly to receive respect and recognition is Karyn Kusama. From
her debut film in 2000, Girlfight, to
her most recent success, The Invitation,
Kusama describes her experience in Hollywood "like open heart surgery
without the painkillers." The article below details her experiences and
the discrimination she has faced because of her gender as she strove to rise to
the top.
