Alison Bechdel's comic "Dykes to Watch Out For" once proposed a simple test to see if a movie treated its female characters as equal members of the cast. The rule has three parts. The movie must feature 1: at least two named female characters, who 2: have a conversation with each other that 3: isn't about one of the male characters. This criteria came to be known as the Bechdel test, though Blechdel has gone on record that she got the idea from Liz Wallace. The character in the comic says that the last movie she saw that fit these criteria was Alien. Interestingly, there was a scene filmed between Ripley and Lambert where they talk about Ash, but it ended up being deleted.
