Netflix's My Brilliant Career Revival Brings Bold Feminist Energy

A long time ago, a woman named Miles Franklin wrote a book called 'My Brilliant Career'.

The book tells the story of a girl named Sybylla who wants to write stories instead of getting married.

Now, a streaming service called Netflix has made a TV show from the book.

A talented actress named Phillipa Northeast plays Sybylla.

Sybylla lives on a struggling farm and does not like following the rules her family gives her.

She goes to stay at her grandmother's grand house called Caddagat.

At a party, she surprises everyone by reading a grown-up poem.

The show mixes old-fashioned clothes with modern music.

It also tells stories about people who were treated unfairly because of their skin color or who they loved.

Watching Sybylla reminds us that everyone should get to choose their own future.
