This is interesting, but surely your dataset provides a skewed picture? It's no surprise that the film industry has been male-dominated if you go back to the 1920s.

Surely the more instructive graph would show if things have improved significantly in recent years, in response to pressures for more gender equality. My guess would be that it has... but by far less than you might expect.

That's a great point, Guy. I've add a time series to the article based on your suggestion. Thanks for that!
