"Female artists of Varda’s generation, discounted or marginalized in their lifetimes, are often in the position of being 'rediscovered' years later, long after they can enjoy the recognition. Varda lived long enough to see herself celebrated as the feminist lodestar she was by generations of younger women, though she was not entirely satisfied with this distinction. At an awards ceremony in 2017, in which she was presented with an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement, Varda thanked the four women who had given her a glowing introduction, before quipping, 'I have a little question: Are there no men in this room who love me?'”
