Director: Philippa Lowthorpe

There was something in the air back in the Britain of 1970, a rank male pong of tobacco, hair oil and chauvinist complacency. It hung around not just the pubs and shop floors but the boardrooms, the universities, the entertainment industry – in other words, just about everywhere. But some had sniffed a different scent, one of revolution, and at Ruskin College, Oxford, certain disaffected women decided they’d had enough and were going to stick it to “the patriarchy” – a term just coming into popular use, along with “sexism” and “women’s liberation”.
