Happy International Women’s Day! We’re Celebrating By Watching These 4 Netflix Movies Featuring Strong Women Tonight

Happy International Women’s Day (IWD)! I’m sure you’re wondering how this day came about, and it all started back in the 1900s.

According to the website created for IWD, “International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.”

“IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people.”

“Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.”

While we celebrate women all year here at Chip Chick, tonight we’re celebrating International Women’s Day by watching these 4 movies featuring strong female leads.

Read on for some of our favorite flicks you can stream on Netflix tonight!

Lost Girls

If you love true crime and strong women, Lost Girls is right up your alley. This movie follows the true story of Mari Gilbert, a mom who never stopped fighting for justice for her daughter Shannan Gilbert, a suspected victim of the Long Island Serial Killer.

You can watch it here on Netflix.

Malcolm & Marie

Malcolm & Marie is entirely shot in black and white, which only lends to how dramatic this is. It’s all about an argument between a writer/director and his girlfriend (played by Zendaya), who is understandably hurt that he never thanked her in a speech he gave at the premiere of his film.

You can watch it here on Netflix.

Julie & Julia

Ready for another movie based on real-life? Julie & Julia is a feel-good flick about a woman named Julie Powell who makes it her mission to create every single recipe in Julia Child’s famous cookbook.

You can watch it here on Netflix.

Sex and the City: The Movie

Name some female leads more incredible than Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, and Kim Cattrall. I’ll wait.

Sex and the City: The Movie is based on the iconic HBO TV series, and it doesn’t disappoint, in case you haven’t seen it.

This is actually leaving Netflix on March 31st, so it’s a good thing to watch it now before it’s gone!

You can watch it here on Netflix.
