Coup de Pod II: Power to the Pussy Episode 2 - Don't Iron While the Strike is Hot!

By the 1950s women in the West had been pushed back into the household; their roles in the expectations of society confined to the whims and demands of men.

They were united, organised and began an inexorable push for social, legal and economic change that would bring them into the realm of self-empowerment. Although that push must continue to this day, it was these women who built the scaffolding, from the frames of which women’s rights could begin to be constructed.
