THESE VITAL YEARS: A CONVERSATION WITH BETTY FRIEDAN AT 76 ( DAVIDSON FILMS )

Betty Friedan originally gained fame for her important role in the Women's Movement of the 1960's and 1970's. She continued to be an insightful and often pithy social critic until her passing. In this film, she discusses the research she has done about the myths and realities of aging, and her personal experience of being over seventy. Her zesty style of speaking and her sharp analysis of the mistaken beliefs we have so long accepted about aging make this film a stimulating and provocative experience. This is a short clip from the film. Further information is available at www.davidsonfilms.com.

Friedan looks upon women in the US as an oppressed minority, treated as second-class citizens, in a so-called patriarchal society. That America mistreats women, that if a woman marries a man he will probably beat her up, how it’s a tragic life for Americans. When the opposite is true.
