Elizabeth I of England.

                                                                Henry´s daughter.

                                            


    Nowadays, the society reckons that is completely usual seeing women related to power and having a voice in political and economical topics, even though, more than 400 years ago, it was completely different the scenery for they. In this contradictory rebellion growth a well-prepared lady called Elizabeth.  

    Elizabeth I of England was the daughter of Henry VIII of England.  She was an independent and strong woman, who was prepared to be a Queen or a politician. At that age, it was a huge impact Elizabeth´s accession at the age of 25. Additionally, Elizabeth established as many trading with many nations as possible, leading the trading market with Asian countries, allowing to England increase their profits.

    As a comparison, the whole movie create a sense of glorification in Elizabeth´s figure, which is bear resemble to the one created by England in the 16th Century. It was her conception to create the idea of a Virgin Queen, who becomes the mother of England. It was crucial that she be acting in that way as a seal of approval from the citizens. On the contrary, during the whole movie, the plot was trying to create an unreal relationship between the Queen Elizabeth and a English corsair. That part of the movie wasn´t completely true due to the fact that no one could prove the existence of a relationship between Queen Elizabeth I and one of her suitors.


Wrapping up, the movie gives you a base for real history. It show you how a woman was one the biggest politician figure in the 16th century and her ability and skills to command million of people fighting against other countries. As far I am concerned, societies are not trying to eliminate the chauvinism barrier, even though we are getting used to the idea of having women controlling countries.

  1. Definitely, Queen Elizabeth I is one of the most important politician of the history, for how a woman can control and rule a nation so spectacularly like she did, in a period so chauvinism like those centuries. She is an icon of how someone can develop him between the adversity.
