Women of Power: The Future

The Devil Wears Prada - 2006

In many recent movies such as “The Devil Wears Prada,” there are women in strong business roles.  It is happening in our world today, so it will appear in future movies and television.  Women are becoming a more powerful part of the workforce in every socioeconomic class from small town businesses to CEOs to Wall Street.  Women in power, no matter their status, are portrayed as headstrong independent individuals who stand tall for what they believe in, fueling their success.  In “The Devil Wears Prada”, Miranda Priestly is editor in chief of American Runway magazine, which puts her in a position of high power.  Throughout the movie, she belittles almost everyone underneath her, but in such a way that shows she has worked hard for everything she has.  I believe that future movies will continue along this path, showing the struggles that a certain heroine went through to get to where she wants to be in life.
