GROWING UP FEMALE (1971)

Jon W. — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 01:09:55 +0000

Growing Up Female is the very first film of the modern women’s movement. Produced in 1971, it caused controversy and exhilaration. It was widely used by consciousness-raising groups to generate interest and help explain feminism to a skeptical society. The film looks at female socialization through a personal look into the lives of six women, age 4 to 35, and the forces that shape them–teachers, counselors, advertising, music and the institution of marriage. It offers us a chance to see how much has changed–and how much remains the same.

1080p & 576p copies with audio from VHS synched by me, the original audio on the HD rip was pretty bad, extremely denoised and as a result it sounded completely lifeless so this is a much better way of experiencing it.
