_Carrie_
_Thelma and Louise_
_G.I. Jane_
_I'll Cry Tomorrow_ (1955 film starring Susan Hayward about a performer
who slowly succumbs to alcoholism and then kicks it.)
_Boys Don't Cry_ (hey, it's about a girl.)
_Ginger Snaps_ (Incredible Canadian horror film from 2001 I think, about
two teenage sisters and one's becoming a woman and a werewolf and the
same time. The tagline is "They don't call it the curse for nothing.")

I would like to do some research into the field of 'female rites of
passage' in films and would be very grateful for any pointers. I am
particularly interested in the action/adventure genre and to find out
whether, from a psychoanalytical point of view, the individual journeys
for
the hero and the heroine are (and should be) so very different.
Thanks a lot,
Est
