The Showbiz Gender Rift
2006-Mar-20 by Laughcalvin
Today I perused the "Movies by Women" site and found an intriguing study by Dr. Martha Lauzen, a professor in the San Diego St. school of communication.
Go take a look at what she found out.
It's hard to believe that in an industry that prides itself in being ultra-liberal, little equality exists in the workplace. A whopping 61% of characters on TV were male over the 2004-2005 season, only about 1 in 10 directors were female, and directors of photography? Fughitaboutit! Only 2%- unbelievable.

I'm a woman in the biz and those stats are pretty accurate. Out of 98 employees in my post production division, only 18 are women and 10 are in "technical" positions.

Do women have little desire to find employment in certain areas or are they steered away from those areas?
