Bright, intelligent, passionate and free, Eleanor (played by Bafta and Golden Globe-nominated performer Romola Garai, Suffragette, Atonement) is Social Revolutionist Karl Marx’s youngest daughter. Among the first women to link the themes of feminism and socialism, she takes part in the workers’ battles and fights for women’s rights and the abolition of child labour. In 1883 she meets Edward Aveling (Patrick Kennedy, The Queen’s Gambit) and her life is crushed by their passionate but tragic love story.
Selected specifically for our International Women’s Day Screening, Miss Marx embodies a celebration of women’s achievement and resistance throughout history. Eleanor Marx is an example of courageous rebellion against bias, stereotypes and discrimination – fighting for a world that is diverse and equitable for all. The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is #BreakTheBias, striving for a gender-inclusive world free of inequality – head to their website here to find out more.

“An explosive performance from star Romola Garai”
– INDIEWIRE
“Nicchiarelli’s film feels like its own kind of manifesto: one in which period pieces can speak plainly and freshly to the present”
– THE TELEGRAPH
“Garai commands attention as a defiant woman who was punkishly far ahead of her time.”
