What is a woman?
is a mother, a wife, a vague shadow, a group of imaged symbols...
In "Women", 2,000 women from 50 countries are finally able to tell their stories in front of the camera as independent individuals. And these stories are connected into a group portrait of a female growth that you and I are so familiar with.
At the beginning, it was a trouble in adolescence.
Some people are excited about their menstrual periods, some are shy because they start to bleed, and some are unable to accept their gradually developing body...
Some people are afraid because of their physical development because her father loves to see her more.
She cut her hair short and wrapped her breasts, trying to erase the female part of herself. But when she was 13 years old, her father's claws still stretched out to her, and this nightmare lasted for five years.
Then, it is the fear of entering adulthood.
In some countries, women need to undergo inhumane circumcision. On the day of adulthood, they experienced pain that they had never experienced in their entire lives;
In more places, women experience fear. They may be being followed by the opposite sex, and they may be listening to the opposite sex speak loudly. Even when walking, they need to maintain a certain gait to make sure they are not so sexy, thus preventing certain injuries.
Then, it's the first time sex, the first time feeling love, the first marriage, the first pregnancy...
If you feel confused about the unknown future, if you have also hesitated or timid in certain decisions, perhaps their experience can help you find your direction. What moved me the most in the

films is that women still have the courage to face, challenge and defeat them after experiencing all kinds of injustice.
One of the women said that she had taken her daughter and granddaughter to do boxing training and asked them to stand in front of the boxing bag to imagine defending themselves and then hit it.
Like many girls, her daughter and granddaughter's first reaction is to cover her eyes with fear.
But, she said, "No, you have to hit it!"
's punch hit my heart.
Another black woman successfully graduated from Harvard Kennedy School of Management after getting married. At the graduation ceremony, she invited her husband and family to come on stage.
At that time, there were only 5 black women in their class, one of whom was from Kenya, and they all had their own children.
This also means that after experiencing social discrimination in the first half of their lives, they finally changed their lives through several times of hard work after marriage.
There is also a woman who interprets what a cool workplace article is.
She was the executive vice president of Canada's largest medical evaluation company. When she left the company, the CFO of the company that left her job revealed her salary to the board of directors. What shocked the male-centered board of directors was that her salary was actually the highest in the company.
"There are always people who want to get the highest salary, but this time the one who gets the highest salary is a woman."
In addition, there are Casablanca female MPs who were successfully elected after 7 elections, and female members of the cabinet who participated in government decision-making...
If they can succeed, maybe we can do it too.

Regarding childbirth, there are many women around me who hope that their children are boys because it is really not easy for girls. They have to bear physical troubles and face various pressures and injustice in society. They do not want their children to face these.
Although sometimes, I am also troubled by my gender, more often, I think it’s good to be a girl.
We are soft and sensitive, and we are also strong and brave;
We are brave men who bleed every month and warriors who can nurture new lives.
Even if the balance of social resources has never been tilted towards us, we can still do everything others can do. It’s just that sometimes, we need to spend more time and effort.
As a woman, maybe you are in confusion and anxiety, maybe you don’t agree with your own identity, maybe the unknown in the future makes you hesitate and discourage...
Then, I sincerely suggest that you watch this documentary and you will find that you have never been lonely. Some people have empathized with the pain and sorrow you have experienced. Don't be afraid, go forward bravely, everything will be fine.
If life is an adventure, let’s go through the level together, defeat the devil, and learn to appreciate yourself as a woman in the process.
or above.
