Lee: Kate Winslet urges women to ‘manifest’ change in film industry

Kate Winslet urged young women to "manifest" change the film industry’s culture.

Speaking at the premiere of Lee , her new film about Second World War photojournalist Elizabeth "Lee" Miller, the actor spoke about the difficulties women face balancing a career in movies and raising a family.

Winslet, who has been working on the film for around a decade, told The Independent : "There aren't as many female directors because we go off and have children and that becomes our life.

"That's partly why this film took the time it took, I was busy doing other things important to my life."

Urging women to "get out there and do it," Winslet added: "Manifest. I believe in manifesting, a lot, and wafting things and full moons."
