The present article offers a female empowerment analysis with a multimodal perspective of the antagonist Lady Eboshi in the film Princess Mononoke (1997), directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The main research objective is to analyze the individual samples of female empowerment found in her power from within and power over. The data from this article were taken from three essential scenes by means of a mainly qualitative-descriptive methodology, although quantitative data are also provided, collected in a rubric created by the author that includes different indicators such as the sense of the self, self-confidence and self-esteem. In the end, the results obtained will show if Eboshi is indeed a clear example of female empowerment.
