Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Genre: Chick Flick

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a female empowerment movie all about friendship and its ups and downs.

The film tells the story of four very different friends who stay connected over the summer through, of all things, a pair of jeans. Throughout the summer, they each discover themselves through new friends, adventures, family troubles, and romance.

Empowering Quote: “The truth is there’s little bit of loser in all of us. Being happy isn’t having everything in your life to be perfect. Maybe it’s about stringing together all the little things; making those count for more than the bad stuff. Maybe we just get though it and that’s all we can ask for.”

Crazy Rich Asians

Genre: Romantic Comedy

I do love a rom-com, which is why I couldn’t resist putting Crazy Rich Asians on this list. Though the central story of the film is about a young Asian American adapting to Singapore’s high society lifestyle after falling for a handsome billionaire, the film also follows many women working their way through life’s problems.

The film covers many important topics of adapting to new life, falling out of love, protecting one’s family, and staying true to one’s self. Plus, it boasts incredible representation for Asian actors in cinema!
