If we enjoyed (and had brilliant discussions about) Suffragette and Hidden Figures what else would we like?

Dd1 is really enjoying this kind of thing and seems very inspired.

A bit light-hearted but Legally Blonde, especially the musical, movie can be streamed but the musical is stage only.

The best of enemies - it about how the real life friendship developed between civil rights activist Ann Atwater and a leader of three KKK.

Really inspirational film, I cried at the end.

There's a chess one set in Uganda I think. Can't remember the name. We loved hidden figures too. The boy who harnesses the wind is not a female lead but similar theme of empowering ( literally) a community.
