Radical Feminism of Natalie Artemis' Character in Monster Hunter Film

Feminism issues are often radically depicted in literary works, especially in a film today. Filmmakers emphasize these issues to raise women’s awareness about the oppression that might happen to them. This radical movement happens because they try to create an idealistic society for women. From this premise, radical feminism was born because the previous movement could not undo the women’s oppression as time goes throughout the decades. Adjusting to the patriarchal system, women are often portrayed as unique and unusual to be treated as equal to men.
