SISTERS OF '77 tells the story of a historical event that revolutionized the women's movement.
On a historic weekend in November of l977, twenty thousand women and men left their jobs and homes in cities and small towns around the country to end discrimination against women and promote their equal rights.
For four days at the first National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas, they caucused, argued and finally hammered out a Plan of Action.

This video must be required viewing for every woman and man in this country. Listen to the women who tell their stories in this film --- they were in their 20s and 30s when they led this event! Without the benefit of cable TV, mainstream coverage, or the internet, these women built a visionary platform in support of issues important to women, GLBT folks, people of color , the disabled,poor and/or disenfranchised!And most of the country didn't bother to listen. This is a film for the ages!
