HOT GIRL SUMMER

From law school, to frozen tundras and desert wastelands, all the way to the top of the Commercial Street Parkade, this summer w'ere celebrating bad-ass women in film!

Each of the women in these films do offer us very different representations of what a "strong woman character" means. So often, "strong" is equated with brawn and muscles, and what a limiting notion that is! Here, we've got strength in very different forms and different contexts.
