Like Kartini, These Are Inspiring Female Characters In Films

JAKARTA - April 21 is celebrated as Kartini Day. As an influential figure, Kartini is a figure capable of awakening the figure of an indigenous woman.

It inspires women today to always be useful people for society. Not only Kartini, now there are many female characters who deserve to be role models.

No exception for fictional characters who are usually witnessed a lot on the screen. VOI has several options for you. Listen here, yes!

1. Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson from Hidden Figures.

This film tells the story of three female mathematicians who work at NASA. A proud achievement for them was actually underestimated by their surrounding friends. Apart from being women, they are also black. The struggles of these three women in displaying quality compared to appearance really inspire us as the young generation today.

2.Kim Ji Young of Kim Ji Young, Born 1982.

Growing up in patriarchal conditions in South Korea, Kim Ji Young felt pressured by the demands of being a woman and a mother at the same time. Ji Young's figure here is very apprehensive but it shows that a woman deserves to choose what she wants to do. Ji Young also begins to learn to openly with people around him about his condition at the same time so that people understand what he wants.

3. Miranda Priestly from Devil Wears Prada.

Considered fierce and controlling, this is the figure of Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep from Devil Wears Prada, who is feared by her subordinates. Priestly, who is the leader of a well-known fashion magazine, is a picky person when it comes to work. Yet if we examine it, Miranda is a person who knows her will and perseveres in her choice. This can be a guideline for us as women to stick to the dreams to be achieved.

4. Marlina from Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts.

Raped, assaulted and stolen, Marlina begins to seek justice for what she received. This is where a quote "Stand up for yourself" comes true. Throughout the film, we witness Marlina, played by Marsha Timothy, struggling to question the world's alignments with women. Marlina is a tough and self-loving woman.

5. Josephine March from Little Women.

Jo, played by Soirse Ronan, knows what he dreams of becoming a famous book writer. Awakening from his lack of life, Jo started traveling to the United States looking for what he could gain. Even though he is not a writer, Jo has received many lessons and is ready to share wherever he can. He also wants to help indiscriminately. We can imitate the figure of Jo who is willing to learn to accept the process of getting what he wants. These qualities are needed for a woman in an era like this.
