DID YOU KNOW?
​
Mensa member Geena Davis, probably best known for her unforgettable performance in *Thelma and Louise* (a film which was, at the time, strongly criticized for its portrayal of women as overly rough, violent criminals), will most likely leave her most lasting and furthest echoing mark on the world as an activist at the helm of gender equity in the entertainment industry.

DID YOU KNOW the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media’s research on gender disparity spans twenty years and is the largest collection of data of its kind? It is the first and only research-based organization in the entertainment industry working to find gender balance, reduce stereotyping and create diverse female characters by shining a spotlight on the facts, figures and reality of women in film. Geena Davis and her Institute work tirelessly toward gender equity in film with a goal of educating and advocating via research. She very rightly points out, regarding film and television, “It’s the one area of gender disparity that we can fix overnight.” Oh, and she made it to the semifinals for the 1999 U.S. Olympic archery team, but who’s counting? #amazonwoman
