Women Protagonists
The female condition in history has not allowed women to evolve as men could in the past. They were not allowed to educate themselves, they were not allowed any freedom of movement in society. Women have long been relegated to homes, a home that has almost become a prison. It is an ancient repression that has its roots in distant times. But in the last few decades, things have been changing. Women can enjoy greater freedom, their uniqueness, personal and artistic growth, demonstrating skills and motivations that are superior and nobler than those of men. Their pent-up energy can finally explode. Even in the cinema.
