try checking your local PBS listings for Makers. 3hour documentary about the women's rights movement. really interesting, really good.

actually it's available online and as PBS is free might be available to watch by those out of the country. or with a proxy

Thanks for starting this thread.

I could not get the video of the three 54 minute documentaries "Women Who Make America" to play at the PBS website, but the documentary can be viewed in the UK at the website of the Makers project at www.makers.com.

For those who are unfamiliar with the Makers project, it is a collection of videos of interviews with leading American women in politics, business, science, technology, feminist activism, sport, entertainment, education and the arts.

The Makers project has many videos of interviews with prominent American women that can be viewed at their website. Very inspiring!
It includes :

Madeleine Albright
Hillary Clinton
Geraldine Ferraro
Catharine MacKinnon
Nancy Pelosi
Susan Brownmiller
Ellen DeGeneres
Eve Ensler
Nora Ephron
Oprah Winfrey
Alice Walker
Barbara Walters
Billie Jean King
Sheryl Sandberg
Erin Brockovich
Gloria Steinem

A quote from the Susan Brownmiller interview:

"In the state of Massachusetts, women weren't allowed to sit on a jury, hearing a rape case, because the matter was considered too delicate for feminine ears."

Hi Vesuvia, do you want to start a new thread since my title and first couple posts might mean that people don't actually try and click on the link that you have found?

Thanks
Hairy

I am watching it now.
