- The 1977 National Women’s Conference addressed topics such as sexual preference and abortion rights, which were highly controversial at the time. If a national women’s conference were to be held today, what topics would be hotly debated? Would they be similar to or different from the hot topics in 1977?
- Filmmakers Cynthia Salzman Mondell and Allen Mondell hope that SISTERS OF ’77 will “remind all women how far they have come in the last 25-plus years.” What are some of the women’s movement’s most significant accomplishments in the last three decades?What work remains to be done?
- In SISTERS OF ’77, author Betty Friedan says: “We are in an era where nobody’s marching. I think [women’s rights are] a part of consciousness of several generations of women. And young women just take it all for granted.” Do you agree or disagree with her statement? Do you think the U.S. women’s movement has a viable future?
