Helen "Penny" Tweedy Chenery - the true hero behind the success of Secretariat
I ran to the movies tonight because I wanted to see Diane Lane to play the role of what appeared to be a heroine of real life real and honest. And it did. I was very pleased with the film, the horse and this remarkable woman behind the horse.
Penny Tweedy Chenery presented us as a ?stay-at-home-mom the beginning of the 1970s with four children and a husband to advocate who sits in his chair at the breakfast table reading book while she is trying to prepare breakfast for him and his four children, and take orders for own shirts and Riesling wine, it must buy for one of its customers. You cannot judge him. It was time - how women and men were at that time, although argue that some things have not changed.
Back to the farm to his father through the death of his mother, his love for horses, his father and farm business, and the horses he taught him as a child come rushing back. She is a woman-oriented business, having renounced to his own personal ambitions and career awareness to his family. Diane Lane presents its character as a committed, and elegant woman who has no qualms on foot for itself and for its decisions. During the film, she is confronted, attacked, ridiculed and threatened by men. It comes to her husband, brother, other owners of horses and riders and so forth. But it stands its ground, ridicules back and his determination and intelligence speak for her. In his horse champion, Secretariat, she sees herself: she runs for his life, running to win the race this maternity and family responsibilities dissuaded competitors in. It saves his father's farm, horse a champion facing adversity of patriarchal notions of his time to women, and she performs the unimaginable: it millions of money by a horse everyone is betting against racing competition against the big rich boys of his time – and prove itself valuable businesswoman.
Here's a real life - hero Penny Tweedy, for his willingness to run against the grain and prescribed notions of patriarchy him as a homemaker allowing simple. It certainly showed their bad!
