The first woman to film a feature-length movie was Alice Guy-Blaché. She was a pioneering French filmmaker active in the early 1900s, known for her innovative storytelling and technical innovations. Guy-Blaché directed "La Fée aux Choux" in 1896, which is often recognized as one of the first narrative films. Throughout her career, she directed hundreds of films, a remarkable achievement considering the era's gender norms. Her contributions laid the groundwork for future women in cinema, yet her legacy was largely forgotten until recent recognition of her impact.
