Women: a success story (2018)

WORLDwrite's liberating new film documents the great advances of the past 100 years and celebrates women as equals in the West today. Confronting contemporary myths and prejudices that suggest the world is awash with predators, misogyny and discrimination, forty women give us a fresh perspective. They tell us we have nothing to fear and can do anything. From across the generations, they share their life stories, what they overcame and what's changed. From life in the cotton mills, the 2nd World War, the 1984 miners' strike, from outdoor loos, terry nappies and illegal abortions to pre-marital sex and making it in what was once a man's world. Interwoven with original archive footage, this film urges us to revel in our progress and do it with men not against them.
