		<description><![CDATA[Last year, 2009, was a great year for women's issues in English language cinema. Though mainstream critics may have missed the boat on most of them, I hereby take it upon myself to rate 10 films on two scales: 1. relevance to contemporary feminism and 2. cinematic achievement. Each scale allows me to designate films 1 - 10 and then add the two numbers together for a final total, which determines placement on the list. With this system in play, I present a "Top Ten" ranking that includes fair to outstanding movies that American audiences witnessed in 2009.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&#038;blog=3742533&#038;post=1231&#038;subd=femspotter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
