Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon has had a successful career over several decades in Hollywood. But in her 30s, she recognised how few meaty roles there were for women. 

Scarlett Johansson is Hollywood’s highest-paid female actor. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is the highest paid male actor. But there’s a ludicrious pay-gap.

There’s a lack of fictional women in top jobs across film and television, especially given the fact less than 30% of the speaking parts in Hollywood blockbusters are given to women.
