'Peaky Blinders' Season 5 preview: A look at how Ada Shelby proved she is every bit a modern woman

Ada Shelby left her home for love and did not stumble back when things went wrong, instead, she stood by herself

Sophie Rundle's character, Ada Shelby, in BBC One's 'Peaky Blinders', might not possess glamor and seductiveness like her Aunt Polly (Helen McCrory) or the delicate charm of her late sister-in-law, Grace (Annabelle Willis), however, the youngest woman in the Shelby family can, in every way, be termed a Modern Women, and no, her family or her husband have nothing to with that.

Starring alongside Cillian Murphy (Thomas Shelby), Paul Anderson (Arthur Shelby) and Joe Cole (John Shelby), Rundle's character has always proven herself a true descendant of her dynasty. While the show is set at a time when women were coming out with the Suffrage Movement to claim their right to vote, Ada's character perfectly provides the feeling that there's a revolution boiling.
