Feminists: What Were They Thinking?

The faces from the 1977 photographs gaze across decades with undiminished intensity. The iconic images from the 'Feminist Women' photo album are reanimated through the voices of the very subjects who once defied patriarchal norms. Director Johanna Demetraks traces the life trajectories of these activists, artists, and mothers, weaving their personal evolution into a larger cultural tapestry. The film draws urgent connections between the second-wave feminist awakening and today's ongoing struggles, questioning the true nature of societal progress. It becomes a living conversation across generations about autonomy, embodiment, and the enduring fight for a seat at the table.
