Emerging Woman, The

• 1974 ----- b & w ----- 40 min ----- 16mm
• The varied economic, social and cultural experiences of the American woman are shown. Special attention is given to the heroic efforts of Black women. Woman's place in the labor movement at the beginning of this century is considered. An analysis of the suffrage movement shows its weaknesses and strengths. Focuses on the manipulation of women as a marginal labor force during and after World War II and the rebirth of the feminine mystique in the 1950's. The Civil Rights Movement, the anti-war movement and the increasing number of economically independent women are seen as factors in today's Women's Liberation Movement.
