Abstract

In the 1960s, as a result of the Western feminist movement, feminism gained widespread attention from all sectors of society. Feminism has been discussed in a variety of British and American youth films in recent years. They have focused on the collision and intermingling of the two sexes within the framework of a patriarchal society through this mode of expression, expressing the cultural aspiration for harmonious coexistence of the two sexes.
