Actor Carey Mulligan says she has experienced sexism in Hollywood and felt "belittled" for being a woman in the film industry.

The 32-year-old actor says she often has to fight to make her voice heard when discussing scripts with film executives, reported Vogue Australia.

"I have felt belittled and ... kind of lesser-than. I've definitely experienced sexism in terms of how I've been treated. When I've tried to assert my opinion on scripts, for example, I feel I've had to fight a bit harder to get my voice heard," Mulligan says.

The actor, who has two-year-old daughter Evelyn and a three-month-old baby whose name and gender have not been revealed with her husband Marcus Mumford, also praised writer Dave Hare for not to altering her character in crime-thriller "Collateral" after learning she was pregnant.
 

"I loved that he didn't rewrite my character, that he just didn't make a fuss about it. It felt more real to life, because when you're pregnant you do just go about your life," she said.
