The Power of a Woman: 3 Best Films About Women Who Changed the World

Women are usually perceived exclusively as gentle and reverent creatures who inspire achievements and victories in others. However, many, many of them can boast of their own triumphs. Here are the top films about strong ladies who changed the world:

"Suffragette" (2015)

The film tells the story of the movement of women fighting for suffrage for the “weaker” sex. A girl named Maude attends suffragette events secretly from others. Because of this, she loses everything - her job, her family, her reputation, her freedom. While she is in prison, like-minded suffragettes are doing their best to draw public attention to both her fate and the fate of women in general. At the cost of enormous efforts, Maud and others achieved that women were given the right to vote, the right to vote, and the right to raise their own children.

"The Iron Lady" (2011)

Biographical film about the first female Prime Minister of Great Britain. The events of the film unfold in modern times, the “Iron Lady” Margaret Thatcher is seriously ill. She lives in the past, in which she runs the affairs of the country, and her husband is still nearby. Every day Thatcher talks with her deceased husband and worries about the fate of Great Britain. Flashbacks show the period of Thatcher's political and personal formation - how her speech, style, and manner of making decisions changed. Towards the end, the action returns to reality again - the “iron lady” tries to “drive” her deceased husband out of her life by collecting his things. She watches him leave forever. This loss turns the “iron” Thatcher into an ordinary, but, as before, strong and strong-willed woman.

"Black Swan" (2010)

Natalie Portman received an Oscar for her role in this film. She reincarnated as a ballerina, who regained the right to dance the part of the Black Swan in the production of Swan Lake. Those around her persistently see the heroine in the image of the White Swan, but Nina fights for the right to dance what she wants. In despair, Nina begins to go crazy - injuries constantly appear on her body that she did not inflict on herself, but they really prevent her from living. Nina's friend Lily also wants to dance the Black Swan - the girls compete on this basis. In the finale, Nina dances the cherished part, but... she cannot fully rejoice at her success...
