Is "baby boom" a feminist movie?

[hermioneweasley]

Does it show a woman succeeding in a man's world on her own terms, or does it peddle a hetero normative suburban dream and show that no woman is truly fulfilled without a baby?

I watched this and wondered too, I think by far the most feminist thing was when her partner was honest that he didn't want the baby, she moved onwards and upwards without a second thought, and didn't sacrifice the babies needs 'to keep a man'.

Yes, I thought that Howling. But then she falls into this tree romance later on and gives that awful speech about having "a crib in my office".

I missed the very end, I don't remember that.

I love the film - seen it many times. I think it shows how hard she had to work to be successful in a corporate 'man's' world and how this was completely incompatible with her then taking on a carer role.

I liked how she was really strong giving up her old life and completely going it alone - and I liked how she started her new business up from scratch on her own and then told the horrible corporate guys where to go at the end. V satisfying

I think it was more an anti-corporate-rat-race, pro small-town-america film really.

It freaked me out how the baby never seemed to age through the seasons though...
