Contemporary cinema has become aware of the Matilda Effect and is striving to correct this historical injustice. "Hidden Figures" (2016) was a major turning point, telling the story of NASA's mathematicians.

"Radioactive" (2019) retraces the life of Marie Curie, double Nobel Prize winner, highlighting not only her revolutionary discoveries but also the obstacles she had to overcome in a male-dominated scientific world.

"Cinema has the power to rewrite history and do justice to the forgotten."

— Marjane Satrapi

Series like "The Queen's Gambit" (although fictional) show the importance of representing brilliant women in traditionally male-dominated fields, thus inspiring a new generation.
