Diane Kruger Urges Greater Solidarity Among Women

She links the appeal to her role in The Seduction to present female authority through an 18th-century mentor.

Overview

  • In remarks reported on January 20, Kruger said women can disagree yet remain “sisters,” calling for the same easy camaraderie long associated with male “boys’ clubs.”
  • She argued women have historically been pitted against one another and said shared goals reveal what is possible when they act together.
  • Kruger’s comments accompany promotion for The Seduction, in which she plays Madame de Rosemonde, a wealthy and independent aristocrat in 18th-century France.
  • The character guides a young marquise into high society without yielding to male-dominated norms, including the line, “Seduction is simple… you must learn to control men.”
  • Kruger previously told the Today Show in December that it was fun to play the role as “bossy and wicked,” underscoring the part’s assertive edge.
