women behind men

This is a very good movie I saw called "Rodin's Lover" starring Adjani. The original name of the movie was "Camille Claude", but the Chinese name was still "Rodin's Lover". What a ridiculous thing for Camille. Yes, the only thing she loved in her life was Rodin, Rodin as a teacher and as an artist. But Rodin is not a person who can be trusted for life, for a woman. In Rodin's great works such as "The Kiss", we can clearly see the shadow of Camille. And for the genius Camille, Rodin is not a suitable partner. During the few years he spent with Rodin, Camille inspired Rodin's creative talent. During this period, Rodin completed his most famous works, such as his "The Kiss" and "Eve", all based on Camille. Model and completed with the assistance of Camille. Camille is very successful as Rodin's muse. But these few years were enough to ruin Camille. Camille couldn't bear to be Rodin's lover, so she left Rodin and wanted to restore herself as an artist. But not Camille, who spent the rest of her life in a mental hospital.
There is no doubt that Camille is a genius, she is the daughter of art. But Camille was never known as an artist. She is known only because she is Rodin's lover, the woman behind Rodin, the shadow. And until the end, Camille's few works were preserved in the Rodin Museum. This is a great irony for the proud Camille. Camille has worked hard all her life to be Camille as an artist.
I think of a lot of great women. Whether it is Lin Hui and thus Yang Jiang, they are all known because of a certain man. Lin Huiyin was most disgusted to be called Mrs. Liang during her lifetime, because she felt that she was a woman first and then a wife. What's even more absurd is that most of us know Ms. Lin because of Xu Zhimo, a romantic poet. This is probably the case with Yang Jiang, because she is Mr. Qian Zhongshu's wife, and I began to read her works and get close to her.
They are undoubtedly very good women. They have worked hard all their lives to pursue equality, independence, and not depend on any man. But contrary to expectations, they are known to the public, not because of them, but because of the men before them. Yes, they are very happy, as a woman, much happier than Camille. Have their own career, have a happy marriage, have a warm family. But their happiness also has a shadow. They always have to stand behind the man.
Lin Huiyin used to be very unwilling to be like this. She used to hold literary salons at home and express her opinions as a hostess. But such an approach actually aroused the dissatisfaction of Bing Xin and Ling Shuhua, who are also talented women. Ms. Bing Xin, who has always been known for her gentleness, even insinuated and wrote a novel called "Wife's Living Room" to satirize Lin Huiyin. A female writer can't understand the hidden feelings of the same women, let alone the other half of the people?
Maybe you told me it was their choice, they chose to stand behind men. Isn't there also a woman writer Woolf who is comparable to men? I would say Woolf is an outlier among these women after all. Most women seek out men behind their backs.
