Thanks
for your note to FEMINIST.COM
and for your greetings all the
way from the Czech Republic.
I'm not an expert on actresses
with feminist tendencies, but
based on what I've seen and
heard---on and off the screen,
here are some thoughts:
Susan
Sarandon...she has had some
great empowered roles and off
screen has done a lot of work
to benefit women and girls,
particularly through the feminist
group MADRE.
Rosie
O'Donnell.....her show says
it all.
Blair
Brown and Lee Grant...and
both committed to feminist causes.
Meryl
Streep does lots of work
with mothers; Whoopi Goldberg
does lots of work with girls;
Bette Midler does work
with all sorts of things and
all of her roles are great.
Frances
McDermott, who won the "Best
Actress Oscar" this year...gave
a very feminist speech.
I think Winona Ryder
and Geena Davis might
also fall under this category
as would Janeane Garofalo
and Drew Barrymore.
There are lots of others, too,
but I hope this is a beginning.
Good luck for whatever this
is for.
—Amy
