About Ambitious Women

Ambitious Women follows three formidable figures whose lives collide as they chase power in a world where ambition reshapes friendships, families, and fortunes. Each woman enters the scene with a distinct style and set of goals, and the series tracks how their private ambitions bleed into public arenas like business, politics, and social circles. There is humor tucked among the high stakes, and the plot twists keep the tone brisk without losing emotional punch. The show is less about a single hero than about competing visions of achievement, loyalty, and the price paid when someone decides to push past the limits others set. Supported by a web of lovers, rivals, and allies that cross ages and classes.

Produced in Brazil in 2015, Ambitious Women is directed by Giovanna Machline, Pedro Peregrino, Cristiano Marques, and Luisa Lima. It was created by Gilberto Braga, Ricardo Linhares, and João Ximenes Braga, blending soap opera drama with comic elements. The series blends lush production values with sharp writing and smooth pacing.

The ensemble cast anchors the show with flair, and its take on power dynamics has resonated with viewers who crave women driven by ambition. The performances by Glória Pires, Adriana Esteves and Camila Pitanga helped shape a conversation about female leadership in Brazilian television.

Critical voices note a brisk pace and sharp character dynamics as the show mixes soap melodrama with satire. Core themes orbit around the cost of ambition, ethical boundaries, rivalries among friends and rivals, and how wealth and power redefine loyalty. The mix of humor and drama helps anchor the heavier moments.

No major nominations or wins are listed in widely available records for Ambitious Women. The show is still noted for delivering strong performances from a leading ensemble, particularly Glória Pires, Adriana Esteves and Camila Pitanga, within its Brazilian broadcast. While it did not rack up major nominations, fans praised its cast and the bold tonal swings that set the show apart within its time.
