tells the story of the dramatic shift in women’s lives over the last 50 years, empowered by the mid-20th century expansion in women’s legal rights – and the hard-won freedoms and independence at risk today.
An intro and six episodes capture the stories of women who came of age in the late 1960s in relation to the legislative and social changes that propelled their lives.
Conversations across generations highlight what’s changed, how far we still have to go, and what’s at risk today.
“Remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than our ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could.”
— Abigail Adams, letter to her husband John Adams, 1776
