The table gives data about the percentage of women working in different jobs in Hollywood in 1994 and 2003, and shows the change over this time.
In general, the situation for women varied greatly between different jobs. The only job where most workers were women was costume design. In other jobs, women were a minority, and in some cases, their representation fell significantly.
Looking at the details, the role of costume designer had a very high percentage of women, which increased slightly from 74.2% to 76.1%. In contrast, the figures for more powerful roles were much lower. The percentage of female producers fell from 15.6% to 10.3%, a large decrease of 34%. Similarly, the proportion of female directors dropped from 5% to just 3%, which is a 40% fall.
On the other hand, there was some positive change in other areas. The percentage of female editors rose from 11.4% to 14%, an increase of 22.8%. The figure for writers also grew from 10% to 12%, which is a 20% rise.
In summary, while women made gains as editors and writers, their presence declined in key senior roles like producer and director.
