My Feminism
In an era of antifeminist backlash, this articulate documentary by the makers of Thank God Iâm a Lesbian forcefully reminds us that the revolution continues. Powerful interviews with feminist leaders including bell hooks, Gloria Steinem, and Urvsahi Vaid are intercut with documentary sequences to engagingly explore the past and present status of the womenâs movement. Discussing the unique contributions of second wave feminism, they explore their racial, economic and ideological differences and shared vision of achieving equality for women. Anessential component of womenâs studies curricula, My Feminism introduces feminismâs key themeswhile exposing the cultural fears underlying lesbian baiting, backlash, and political extremism.
