Plot summary
In 1977, a book of photographs captured an awakening - women shedding the cultural restrictions of their childhoods and embracing their full humanity. Feminists: What Were They Thinking? revisits those photos, those women and those times - and takes aim at our current culture revealing all too vividly the urgent need for continued change. The film offers candid and riveting interviews with women such as Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, Lily Tomlin and Judy Chicago tackling topics ranging from identity, abortion, race, childhood and motherhood.

The cown jewel of woke garbage
A very important part of history
..and a very sad male/female ratings ratio. Over a quarter of men who voted gave it 1 star. 1 star! Unfortunately this is not surprising, still disappointing though. The title of this documentary can be interpreted literally: it shows stories of 2nd wave feminists who talk about their experiences as women, feminists, activists, they also cover a bit of general history of their times. The documentary doesn't cover all feminists nor the history of feminism as a whole, it would be a much longer movie. But it's still an important part of history that should be widely watched and discussed as any other history documentary would be.
Fantastic production and discussion about the issues women continue to struggle against
This is a fantastic documentary and made me appreciate these amazing women so much more. I feel ashamed to have really only understood feminism in my 30s. It's too late. We all need to embrace feminist theories earlier. We need to teach our kids. We need to teach our kids about intersectionality. As a mid 30s woman in an industrialised country who has had almost every advantage, I still struggle with being a woman. If I were to add any other aspect such as skin colour, disability, lower income bracket, I would have struggled more. I'm lucky for sure, but I recognise that. Most don't. I do however see that we all need to work together to ensure equality. And maybe it's more about equity anyway.
