<p>The Westworld star spoke to online magazine The Edit about her experiences of being a woman in the film industry and said that she thought things were beginning to improve.</p>
<p>She said: “I am so grateful for work [that isn&#8217;t] yet another underwritten role, written for a woman by a man. I’m so grateful to finally be a three-dimensional character.”</p>
<p>But Thandie added that there were still plenty of ways in which life could be improved for women, including how they treat each other.</p>
<p>She said: “Do you know what we need? A word, like misogyny, but for women who despise other women: Femishame?”<br />
The 44-year-old went on: “Do you ever contribute to [the blog] Everyday Sexism? I want to, but I’d have to do it endlessly. I’d have to do it about so many people I work with.”</p>

<p>In the interview, Thandie spoke about her experiences of growing up in Penzance, Cornwall, and how that shaped her view on life.</p>
<p>She said: “I was the kid who was complicated to be friends with, because I was brown. But I’m quite glad of that now – I realised how useful being alone is for figuring out your relationship to life.</p>
<p>“For me especially, I’m challenged all the time: being a woman who doesn’t want to communicate sexually as a way of making people comfortable; being a woman in a tough industry; being a spokesperson for voiceless women; being African, but also being English. There are so many things I need to speak for.”</p>
