It wasn't a long time ago when women were only a possession; their fathers', husbands', brothers', and sons' property to take care of or cruelly dispose of. Having the right to vote or engaging in typically male activities was unthinkable. Great World Wars changed it all, they pushed men from workplaces to the frontline and women from households to fields, plants, and services. And (oh Lord what a surprise!) they managed. Women succeeded in each and every area previously occupied by men and restoring the old order proved to be as difficult as restoring aristocracy.
Years have passed and still, a woman with a certain ambition has to devote as much as a man with the same dreams, but also face the social criticism of men, women (who pushed their ambition aside for the sake of cooking and cleaning), and society as such. Regardless, she is not willing to resign. One hundred years ago, a thought about a woman exploring the space would be laughed at. Now it's a fact. A professional struggle of one dreamer and a very realistic portrayal of a mother who wants to be something more than a parent and partner. Inspirational for many girls, Proxima.
