One of the most-watched comedies of this summer is, without a doubt, Amy Schumer's brilliant film, "Trainwreck." While this may be Schumer's first foray into the world of writing for the big screen, she is no stranger to what drives the movie: comedy.

This got me thinking about how, in recent years, more and more comedic actresses and women comedy writers have been gracing our TV and movie screens, and that is amazing. Amazing that it took so long for everyone to figure out that women are just as funny as men, even more in some cases. The archaic idea that the most emotional actresses are the most talented could not be more wrong.

For years, writers and actresses have been breaking down the walls for new comedic people to be able to join the force. Tina Fey is one example who vividly sticks out in my mind. She is the genius mind who not only brought us the always-quotable "Mean Girls," but also created the award-winning "30 Rock." Amy Poehler soon followed in "Parks and Recreation," where she not only starred, but helped write a few episodes, including the epic series finale. Finally, this list of groundbreaking women would not be complete without (my personal role model) Mindy Kaling. She started out as a staff writer and a small character on the hit show "The Office," but managed to turn her character into a crowd favorite and start her own production company. The first thing produced, of course, was her hilarious show "The Mindy Project."

With these women, as well as many others, at the forefront of comedy today, things can only get funnier. Television shows such as "Girls," "Orange is the New Black," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" (also from Fey) and "Broad City" have continued bringing women and their comedic relief as well as emotion to the world on the small screen. Now, these talents are taking a step toward the big screen. Emphasizing that is the new "Ghostbusters" reboot, featuring a female main cast.

Ladies and gentlemen, now begins the new age of women ruling the comedic world, and I am absolutely looking forward to it.
