Summary/Abstract: The Hollywood film has become a force of cultural globalization and the image of women in popular Hollywood films may have an important impact on cultural ideas of gender, sexuality and the role of women in the public and private spheres. I examine the top box office films from the 1990s to the present and explore the characteristics women characters have in the film and look at the potential impact of that representation in the context of cultural globalization.
