Jessica Chastain Fronts 'Sisterhood of Leaders' Film In Ralph Lauren 'Woman' Fragrance #LeadLikeaWoman Campaign
/Star actor and Ralph Lauren ‘Woman’ fragrance ambassador Jessica Chastain presents ‘Sisterhood of Leaders’ as part of the brand’s ‘Lead Like a Woman’ campaign, launched in May 2018. The spot attempts to tear down what could be a male-conceived, self-serving belief that women do not support each other.
Starring powerful women from different industries, Chastain is joined by jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer, chef Dominique Crenn, producer Stephanie Allain, director Catherine Hardwicke and more outstanding women who discuss what happens when strong women support strong women. The short film also attacks the myth that women supporting women is atypical behavior.
Jessica Chastain has a long history of advocating for pay equity in Hollywood and beyond. She has also become self-educated and articulate in speaking out about the added burdens of pay equity that impact women of color. In January 2018 Octavia Spencer thanked Chastain for her activism around women of color being paid even less than white women in Hollywood, telling a Sundance panel that she saw a five-fold increase in her own salary for an upcoming movie, thanks to Chastain’s willingness to confront the issue with her in their own movie.
