Bechdel Test Movie List

Though it's not nearly as outright feminist as the (1936!) book upon which it was based, the characters in Ballet Shoes do live in an intensely female-dominated world, not really seeming to miss the presence of men in their lives (although they are certainly happy to have a few around).

Examples:
1- Nana and Sylvia talk about the child's past.
2- Pauline complains to Nana of having to walk to school.
3- Pauline, Petrova and Posy talk about calculus and mathematical operations.
4- Sylvia and Nana talk about lack of funds and what to do about it.
5- Several women encourage Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil to do something for her country so that the family surname will survive in history books.
6- Dr Smith wants to retire but offers to educate the girls first.
7- Sylvia and Nana talk about the change and the need for whole outfits.
8- The Three sisters talk about their futures, the casting calls...
9- Madame Fidolia discusses with Posy how she's going to tutor and mentor her in the future.
10- Garnie has to finally accept that she and her family are poor and say it aloud.
11- Winifred shouts that Pauline has no talent, she's just pretty; and she gives her reasons.
