A GIRL LIKE HER
<http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c846.shtml>

Heart-wrenching...precise, daunting and also allusive, this story recalls 
those bad old days when ignorance, silence and repression were the preferred 
social strategies."
Cynthia Fuchs, PopMatters

From 1945-73, 1.5 million unmarried young American women, facing enormous 
social pressures, surrendered babies to adoption. Lacking sex education and 
easy access to birth control, they were forced into hiding while pregnant and 
then into "abandoning" their infants. In her latest film, Ann Fessler, 
Professor of Photography at Rhode Island School of Design, reprises the 
subject of her award-winning THE GIRLS WHO WENT AWAY (National Book Critics 
Circle; Ballard Book Prize) which Ms. readers named an all-time best feminist 
book. 
 
Drawing on interviews with 100 women, Fessler lets them have their say and 
brings hidden history to light. We hear only their voices, which detail 
wrenching experiences against images from vintage newsreel and educational 
films reinforcing the stereotypes of women's roles following WWII. This 
gripping documentary will help today's students grasp what life was like 
before the sexual and feminist revolutions had fully dawned.
