The New York Times Magazine on Friday published a 7,000-word piece by the famed columnist about the role of women in Hollywood. Dowd interviewed nearly 100 women for the piece, describing their experiences in an industry where women continue to have second-class status. She cited the shocking statistic that in 2013 and 2014 only 1.9 percent of the directors of the 100 top-grossing films were women, a situation that seems to only get worse over time.
Dowd said she found the situation depressing. “The other two things I covered like this were Catholic Church and Saudi Arabia,” she said in an interview with TheWrap. “Somewhere along the line I realized — wow, this incredibly liberal town full of men who say they’re feminists has been warped.
