Two reasons why Nicole Kidman became `Woman of the Year` according to Time

The star of "Dogville" made it to the cover of the February issue of the magazine for a reason. Firstly, Kidman is not only a famous actress but also actively supports women in the film industry.

In 2017, the Time author writes, Nicole made a promise: to work with at least one female director every year and a half. She kept her word:
She far exceeded her promises, producing and starring in 19 films and series over the past eight years.

The Influence of Nicole Kidman

Secondly, Kidman's roles often raise important questions about women's rights. In 2024, for example, she starred in the film "Babygirl," where she played a woman experiencing an internal conflict due to an affair with a young man. The film addresses themes of age, sexuality, and a woman's right to happiness.

Kidman's involvement in such a film helps similar projects come to fruition, believes journalist Lucy Feldman. According to her, thanks to the actress, creators get filming permissions faster:
It creates jobs and gives new voices a chance to be heard.

Other Celebrities

Alongside Kidman, Time also highlighted two athletes: basketball player A'ja Wilson and gymnast Jordan Chiles. They also appeared on the covers of the February issue. The magazine emphasized that in 2024, it was sports that celebrated women.

Time believes that all three heroines are fighting the problems women face worldwide: inequality, rights violations, and more. They inspire change and set an example of leadership.

What do you think, how important are such titles and rankings? Do they impact the actual status of women in society?

Such rankings are like a spotlight. They highlight important topics, issues, and achievements. And of course, they influence society. Not immediately, not magically, but they do.

People start to discuss, to think. And that, you must agree, is already quite a lot. It's at least a reason for conversation, and a conversation is already the start of something bigger.

Earlier, we at zoomboola.com reported that Nicole Kidman changed her image. It made her look much younger.
