Feminism is a dirty word - at least that is how some women see it. It has been weaponized in the media, radicalized, and apparently caused polarization between generations. However, these few loud opinions do not make up the whole. In this film, we take a closer look at the evolution of feminism through the generations, reveling a surprising similarity. Are we really different in our ideas of feminism, or is this just a perception?
