While there are many important female characters in the film, none are presented as the central "heroine."
Here are some of the key female figures in "Mr. Butler":
* Gloria Allen (played by Oprah Winfrey): Eugene Allen's wife, who is a strong and supportive figure throughout his life.
* Jackie Kennedy (played by Robin Wright): The First Lady during John F. Kennedy's presidency.
* Pat Nixon (played by Meryl Streep): The First Lady during Richard Nixon's presidency.
* Barbara Bush (played by Melissa Leo): The First Lady during George H.W. Bush's presidency.
The film focuses on the life and work of Eugene Allen, rather than showcasing a specific female protagonist.
