She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry
Featuring a post-film Q&A with film subjects:
- Heather Booth, founder of the Chicago Women’s Liberation Union and organizer for many national campaigns
- Mary Jean Collins, former NOW Chapter president and present Board member of Veteran Feminists of America and YWCA of Nat’l Capitol Area
- Alencia Johnson, Planned Parenthood
- Chris Riddiough, local activist
SHE’S BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHE’S ANGRY resurrects the buried history of the outrageous, often brilliant women who founded the modern women’s movement from 1966 to 1971. SHE’S BEAUTIFUL takes us from the founding of NOW, with ladies in hats and gloves, to the emergence of more radical factions of women’s liberation; from intellectuals like Kate Millett to the street theatrics of WITCH (Women’s International Conspiracy from Hell!). It does not shy away from controversies over race, sexual preference and leadership that arose in the women’s movement, and brilliantly captures the spirit of the time — thrilling, scandalous, and often hilarious.
