MACHADO, Sandra de Souza. Gender stereotypes in the Audiovisual Industry: Women filmmakers engender new role models. []. , Extra, pp.233-243. ISSN 0874-6885.

Audiovisual productions made by new generations of female filmmakers - directors, screenwriters, producers and actresses - have marked necessary and urgent transformations on female representations and role models for children and young women.
