Movie

[gerbie]

Watched Nynke yesterday, a Frysian movie about a female author in the late 19th century. She was married to a socialist politician, in a time when politics was still about conservatives and liberals and women were supposed to breed and raise children. Their marriage encountered plenty of difficulties, through which she suffered most, almost being declared insane. In the end she still manages to write a brilliant children´s book but loses her husband to the maid.

Intriguing movie, makes me realise (once more) that I have been waiting all my life for a woman with a strong mind. Someone intelligent and certainly not depending on me. Now I only have to find her, she who fits the description ;-)
