Little Women is a brilliant film! “We also have these incredible male characters that are so in touch with these women and their lives have been so enriched by these women coming into their lives.” ~Saoirse Ronan, Vanity Fair interview about Little Women The film is really wonderful on so many levels and the thing I want to shine a light on is the portrayal of complex female characters and how the men’s lives are enriched by the women. This has been one of the messages behind Heal My Voice from the very beginning. Our focus has been on women so that they could connect with their inner authority, reclaim personal power and step into greater leadership in their lives at the dinner table, in community, in business and in the world. I have met women throughout the years who have power in one area of their lives but not in another. Jo March character in Little Women: “Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it!” When I listened to Saoirse Ronan talk about how the male characters were so in touch with the women, I stood up and said, “Yes!” The women didn’t try to fix or rescue or change the men, they were in an environment where they were free to express their soul #littlewomen #siff #uptowncinema https://www.instagram.com/p/B6kH64rh5Hl/?igshid=xpt54vat7scm
