“I had a hard time at the beginning of my career just trying to find a place for myself,” Dancy says. “The expectation was, oh, are you a songwriter? A singer? I’m a thematic orchestral composer, but I don’t look like Beethoven. Or John Williams.” London-based Levienaise-Farrouch says she has seen a shift in the kinds of films she’s being offered. “Originally, I was mainly approached when they needed ‘a woman’s touch,’ and it was mostly working with female directors. [But] everybody’s attitude is changing. You’re not really confronted by sexism anymore; everything feels like it’s moving forward.”
Dr. Martha Lauzen, founder and exec director of the center and keeper of these statistics, reports: “If we compare 2013 with 2021, the percentage of women composers working on the top 250 films increased by 5 percentage points. Even though the percentage more than tripled, 7% is still an absurdly low number. It is roughly on par with women’s representation as cinematographers.
“Studio film scores were stereotypically male-dominated jobs, and that really needed to change,” she says. “There were very few female trailblazers in this area, so it wasn’t easy getting the trust and confidence from studios and filmmakers … although if a powerful director was interested in a female composer and fought for her, the road was easier.

The time, cost and stress of traveling out of state will no doubt take a tremendous toll not only on women seeking abortion, but on the military itself and national security.'Women who are active-duty service members do not get to choose what state they live in, which means they could lose abortion access at the whim of any state with an abortion ban.'
