Women - 1) Rise of feminism, 2) Mothers in employment, 3) Feminist activists
Episode 1 - Rise in feminism: Vanessa Engle charts the rise of feminism and examines its effect on modern life, beginning with the ideology of women's liberation in the 1970s. Systematic oppression both in society and the eyes of the law is explored, and feminism thinkers discuss how and why they become involved in the movement to end it.
Episode 2 - Mothers in employment: Vanessa Engle interviews five mothers in employment to learn how they feel about being primary carers alongside working full-time. She also hers from women who have given up jobs to care for their children. Has feminism had any impact?
Episode 3 - Feminist activists: Vanessa Engle concludes this series with an observational film about a small party of passionate and dedicated young feminist activists who believe that the need for feminist politics is now more than ever.
