`Women, in association with Sudbury Indie Cinema, present MY FEMINISM, a critically
important look at second wave feminism in the 1990’s, a time rife with anti-feminist
backlash. Powerful interviews with feminist leaders including bell hooks, Gloria Steinem,
and Urvsahi Vaid are intercut with documentary sequences to engagingly explore the past

producers.
