FEMINIST: Stories From Women's Liberation |
DVD |
2013 |
Color |
FEMINIST: Stories From Women's Liberation Structured as a personal journey of rediscovery by filmmaker Jennifer Lee, this documentary brings the momentous first decade of secondwave feminism vivdly to life. Its trajectory starts with the earliest stirrngs in 1963 and ends with the movement's full blossoming in 1970-from the Presidential Commission's report on widespread discrimination against women and publication of Betty Friedan's Feminine Mystique up through radical feminists' takeover of the Statue of Liberty and Friedan's calls for a women's strike for equality. A wealth of period footage captures landmark events and the pivotal roles of the National Organization for women (NOW), the Equal Employment Opportunites commission (EEOC), the Student, Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Redstockings, and other organizations. Thirty-five diverse interviewees, including rank-and-file activists along with well-known feminists Betty Friedan, Frances M. Beale, Gloria Stainem, Robin Morgan, Ti-Grace Atkinson, and others, share memories of the period as well as issues and challenges that still resonate today. A great introduction to Women's Studies and critical viewing for historians and academics interested in feminism, activism and the Women's Movement. |
