These women were not your average police officers. They were not content to sit behind a desk and take reports. They wanted to be out on the streets, fighting crime and protecting the public. And they did just that.

The women faced many challenges in their new roles. They were often met with prejudice and discrimination from their male colleagues. But they persevered, and they eventually earned the respect of their peers.

The story of these women is told in the new film, "Three." The film is a gritty and uplifting look at the challenges and triumphs of these pioneering women.

The film stars Rebecca Hall, Kate Winslet, and Emily Blunt as the three female police officers. The three actresses give powerful and nuanced performances, bringing these historical figures to life.

"Three" is a must-see for anyone interested in history, women's rights, or simply a good story. The film is a powerful and inspiring reminder of the strength and courage of women.

The Real Story Behind the Film

The film "Three" is based on the true story of the first ever female police officers. In 1918, the New York City Police Department hired 12 women to serve as police officers. These women were known as the "Policewomen's Bureau."

The Policewomen's Bureau was created to address the increasing number of women who were working in factories and other workplaces during the war. These women were often vulnerable to crime, and the Policewomen's Bureau was tasked with protecting them.

The women of the Policewomen's Bureau faced many challenges in their new roles. They were often met with prejudice and discrimination from their male colleagues. But they persevered, and they eventually earned the respect of their peers.

The Policewomen's Bureau was disbanded after the war, but the women who served in it paved the way for future generations of female police officers. Today, women make up over 10% of the police force in the United States.

The Impact of the Film

The film "Three" has been praised for its accurate portrayal of the challenges and triumphs of the first ever female police officers. The film has also been credited with inspiring a new generation of women to enter the field of law enforcement.

The film's director, Rebecca Miller, said she wanted to make a film that would show the strength and courage of women. She said she hoped the film would inspire young women to pursue their dreams, no matter how difficult they may seem.

"Three" is a powerful and inspiring film that tells the story of the first ever female police officers. The film is a must-see for anyone interested in history, women's rights, or simply a good story.
