this far away continent that no one has ever been to? The monologue when she was lonely and helpless in that era, the whole film is also about the unremitting efforts and sacrifices made by thousands of feminists, and the heroine Maud played by Carey Mulligan is their amplification.
I think it's not just that the heroine was influenced by the women around her and entered the feminist movement, but that there was a fiery desire for equality in her heart, which just happened to expand endlessly in that era. In the laundry factory where the heroine works, she happened to see her boss abusing a girl one day. I think at that moment she thought of herself. She didn't want this girl to repeat the same mistakes, and strengthened her belief in taking the road of feminism. She wanted to save this girl, and she was also redeeming herself back then.
Under the persuasion of her husband, the heroine originally wanted to give up the feminist movement for her husband and her beloved son, but one morning, the heroine woke up and asked her husband a question: If we had a daughter, what would she do? What's your name and what's your life like? Her husband answered without hesitation: She will follow my mother's surname, and she will be the same as yours. Apparently her husband didn't treat the heroine equally at all, even though they were husband and wife, men and women were different. She needs dignity and she will not give up.
The prison inspector pursued the suffragette movement and tried to take advantage of Madd's stable family life to "coerce" her into becoming an informant within the women's organization. Originally, Madelei was shaken, but when she was ruthlessly driven out by her husband, who prevented her from visiting the child, and told her that the child legally belonged to the father, not the parents. The only thing she could do at that moment was to change the law, and then she wrote a letter to reject the Inspector's rebellion. In her heart to the Inspector, she completely revealed her feelings and was moved by it.
She is just one of thousands, and she is flesh and blood. She knows what she is pursuing in her heart, she has desire, she has strength, and her resistance comes from deep within her heart.
"And Reason said to her, Quiet, what do you hear? And she said, I heard footsteps a thousand times, ten thousand and a million times, and they came this way, and they were the ones who followed your footsteps, lead them."
