The Economist Asks: Greta Gerwig
Every generation has its own “Little Women”.

They talk about her move to behind the camera, rescuing her characters from stereotypes and the economics of being a woman artist then and now. Also, how does Barbie, the subject of her next film, fare in the age of #MeToo?
