Female action heroes didn’t necessarily begin with Angelina Jolie, but I’m happy to give her the credit. No longer a girl herself, Angie the Godmother can be damn proud of Hailee Steinfeld, Chloë Grace Moretz, Jennifer Lawrence and Noomi Rapace. These Tough Girls are gonna form Best Actress nomination slates for the next quarter century.
Title IX indeed.
