Movie Background

Feminists: What Were They Thinking?

In 1977, a book of photographs captured an awakening - women shedding the cultural restrictions of their childhoods and embracing their full humanity. This documentary revisits those photos, those women and those times and takes aim at our culture today that alarmingly shows the need for continued change.

This movie is a great introduction to female artists and thinkers from the 70s who posed for photographer Cynthia MacAdams book. Women talk about how the women's liberation movement helped them find their voices in,a time when you were expected to just be a wife and a mother.
