There’s this film that we watched in my anthropology class called ‘Eagle Huntress’ and it’s about a young girl who lives in Mongolia and was taught how to hunt using a Golden Eagle. Her father, as well as grand father were both the only eagle hunters within their family, so she becomes the first female eagle huntress within her family. Then later becomes the champion in the Eagle tournament amongst many other eagle hunters from all over Mongolia, and they’re predominately all male.

This shows equality because a women, yet alone a 11 year old girl, can do the same things that men can do. This is a more cultural thing opposed to the western society, but most of these eagle hunters have been hunting and training with eagle 5 times longer than she has even been alive. So in the end when she turns to be the victor, it is a true demonstration of equality amongst gender.
