Jessica Chastain

Jessica told Elle it's important for women to support women:

"We're living in a time where stereotypes are being thrown out of the window. I've always been someone who's spoken up for gender equality, for eliminating the gender pay gap and for the importance of women in leadership and positions of power, so for me, it's about time. For my entire life I've always experienced women taking care of each other and for some reason the media was feeding us a different story, putting out a false perception that women don't work well together, that we're competitive with each other, and I've never found that to be true. In fact, quite the opposite. It's important to celebrate that and actually be living in a time when women are pushing against this lie that's been shoved down our throats for so long. I'm really excited that we're now celebrating what femininity is and how powerful it can be."
