Makers: Women Who Make America
Grades 11-Adult 2013 180 min CC PBS
MAKERS: Women Who Make America tells the remarkable story
of the most sweeping social revolu on in American history,
as women have asserted their rights to a full and fair share of
poli cal power, economic opportunity, and personal autonomy.
It’s a revolu on that has unfolded in public and private, in courts
and Congress, in the boardroom and the bedroom, changing
not only what the world expects from women, but what women
expect from themselves. MAKERS brings this story to life with
priceless archival treasures and poignant, o en funny interviews
with those who led the fi ght, those who opposed it, and those
fi rst genera ons to benefi t from its success.

fi ve lives upended by this miscarriage of jus ce.
