‘She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry’ salutes women’s liberation“There is a close-up shot of a help-wanted ad from a mid-1960s newspaper in Mary Dore’s new documentary, “She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry,” about the early years (1967-71) of the women’s liberation movement. The ad reads: “Wanted: Good Looking Female Secretary.”It is just one of hundreds of eye-popping archival images throughout the film that drive home the essential fact that before the modern women’s movement successfully upended age-old gender constrictions, “something was fundamentally wrong with the world as we knew it,” says Dore. “Women couldn’t get birth control without being married, couldn’t get credit without their husband’s signature. The grassroots efforts of these brave women who dared to question and contradict the culture, they changed all that.”Exhaustively researched, “She’s Beautiful” is a whirlwind tour through the movement’s marches, protests, poetry readings, consciousness-raising groups and the spirited discussions — that we’re still having — about work, child care, compensation and rape.”Read the full piece here | Watch the trailer -- source link
