This film is an incredibly entertaining history of the outrageous, often brilliant women who founded the modern women’s movement from 1966 to 1971. The film takes us from the founding of NOW (the National Organization for Women) with ladies in hats and gloves, to the emergence of more radical factions of women’s liberation. The documentary aims not to romanticize the early movement, but to dramatize it in its exhilarating, quarrelsome, sometimes heart-wrenching glory. Packed with great archival footage and interviews with everyone from Rita Mae Brown and Betty Friedan to Denise Oliver-Velez and the women of Our Bodies, Ourselves. The film captures the spirit of the time – thrilling, scandalous, and often hilarious.
