Equality: A History of the Women’s Movement in America
“The oustanding Equality succinctly traces the US women’s movement from the Revolutionary War to the present. Pans and close-ups of stills, historic footage and brief reenactments lusciously match the roster of women’s rights leaders such as Susan B. Anthony, Jane Adams, and Eleanor Roosevelt, among others. Remarks from historians and noteworthy activists such as Gloria Steinem brighten this sweeping retrospective….Equality pleasingly conveys much information, making it quite useful to students and general viewers.” – Audiovisual Media “The story is forcefully told by skillfully combining letters, photos, documentaries and reenactments with comments by Gloria Steinem, Ellen Goodman, Anna outstanding and other writers, social activists and historians…an excellent addition to or starting point for most collections.”

“Dramatizations, archival footage and interviews with an impressive roster of contemporary women writers/activists…offer a good mix of past and present. Equality is a very good overview of the women’s movement, suitable for public library or classroom use. Highly recommended.”
