9. Lena Dunham Star of HBO’s Girls, Lena Dunham has made a career out of being a feminist. In her show, she regularly appeared out of her clothing to make the point that she could, even though she doesn’t fit the typical beauty standards in Hollywood. This was something instilled since she was a child, she says:
“[My mom] instilled it in me so deeply and I sort of thought, ‘Okay, she did the job and now the job is done and I just get to call myself a feminist and revel in what my mom did.’ And until I came to Hollywood and started witnessing the subtle but totally systemic sexism that pervades our industry, that’s when I really turned my attention to it again in a powerful way and it became a huge part of my adult identity and not just my inherited identity.”
