Heroic Girls Foundation

The Heroic Girls Foundation is a pop culture based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that advocates for better representation of women and girls in movies, television, books, comics and other mass media in order to combat harmful gender norms that hold women and girls back in the real world. We are dedicated to improving the representation of women and girls within popular culture to help create greater equality between genders in the real world. We envision a world where women are represented on the screen and page in proportion to their representation in the population at large. In short, we want women and girls to have half: Half the roles in Hollywood blockbusters; half the protagonists in children’s literature; half the screenwriting and directing gigs; and half the spoken lines on television.
