Movies about great women in history -  All kind of movie: biopic, documentary, fiction/ bad ones and good ones, etc... This list has no particular order. I choose not only the most famous ones. My selection is based in some cathegories:  1 - women artists: writers, musicians, painters, actresses, dancers, etc 2 - women in politics: queens, leaders, warriors, revolutionaries 3 - women scientists and philosophers 4 - feminists 5 - ordinary but brave/engaged women (category with almost unknown women) 6 - or only (not so)famous women with interesting profiles or that were beyond their time. 

List under construction: I accept suggestions.

Description: Born to rule or thrust into power, monarchs in film and television shaped the fates of nations. Lavish portrayals take us behind palace walls, revealing the costs of wearing the crown.

History themed films & series from the end of the Medieval times to French Revolution

Between 1933-45, UFA was not the only German producer, but was in control of the distribution. Because that circumstance, we have included films from other German producers, made at the same period.
