Nicole Kidman reveals dislike for 'superwoman' label

Nicole Kidman has expressed her discomfort with being labeled a 'superwoman,' a compliment often given to women for balancing career and family, stating, "I hate it" during an interview with Time Magazine. She discussed the pressures of Hollywood on women and her commitment to working with female directors, having collaborated with 19 since the #MeToo movement began. Kidman also opened up about her personal struggles, particularly a traumatic experience when she was unable to breastfeed after giving birth, which left her feeling frightened and confused. Despite recognition for her recent work in the film 'Babygirl,' which received acclaim at the Venice Film Festival, she lamented the absence of Oscar nominations.
