"During the late 1960's and and into the 1970's, the women's liberation movement came alongside the many other social upheavals and protests of the era, signifying global change and calling for things such as equal pay, legal equality and recognition for sexual discrimination, with shockwaves being felt in the then (and arguably still) male dominant film industry.

However, despite the greatness of these films, the women behind them and their influence never seem to be included in the pantheon of filmmakers so often cited from the decade, which is not only a shame, but truly baffling."
