I have just watched the true-life film ‘Gifted Hands’ on Netflix.
I must say that this is a very watchable film.
There were a few tears during some very touching moments.
The film tells the story of a small-town boy who probably wasn’t the brightest of buttons, but who pushes himself to become one of the top surgeons in the country, with the help of a doting mother.
The operation to separate conjoined babies is possibly one of his most successful operations. He is an amazing man.
The suffragettes were activists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries who fought for women’s right to vote. Originating in the United Kingdom, the movement was characterized by its members’ use of direct action and sometimes militant tactics to draw attention to their cause. Key figures in the suffragette movement included Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel and Sylvia, who founded the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1903.
The suffragettes engaged in a variety of actions, including protests, hunger strikes, and acts of civil disobedience such as chaining themselves to railings, breaking windows, and even arson. Their slogan, “Deeds, not words,” emphasized their commitment to taking action rather than relying solely on peaceful protest or lobbying.
While their tactics were controversial and sometimes divisive, the suffragettes were instrumental in raising public awareness and support for women’s suffrage. Their efforts, along with those of more moderate suffragists who used peaceful methods, ultimately contributed to women gaining the right to vote in many countries. In the UK, women over the age of 30 gained the right to vote in 1918, with equal voting rights with men achieved in 1928.
Why is it that almost ALL women in films are portrayed as being tall? Being tall is not how ordinary women look. We are not all 6-foot models. I am only 5ft 3ins tall, without heeled shoes on.
It would be so nice to see women who are a little more petite rather than lanky models all of the time. We can’t even buy nice length skirts and dresses because they are made for lanky people.
What’s the point of wanting to look nice when everyone sticks lanky, skinny blonde/brunette TALL women in everything? Do they want us shorter people to die in shame? Many of us are average height.
A lot of us smaller women are slowly going off actors, because the actors are always with lanky women. #Boring
You do NOT have to be skinny and tall to be beautiful. Some of us are average height, sweet and pretty and we are not lanky, stick insects.
I have written this previously in a much earlier post. I’m going off going to the movies, because everyone looks like a lanky tall model.
This is me at just 5ft 3 ins tall. Why is that hideous?
