To those who claim that feminism has had its day, BCRW offers a brief,
fascinating, and irrefutable rebuttal. In Feminism: Controversies, Challenges, Actions,
filmmaker Rebecca Haimowitz interviews some of the most exciting voices in feminist
scholarship and activism.
Commissioned in 2005 to reflect the first 30 years of the Scholar & Feminist
conference, this half-hour documentary asks feminists across generations about past
controversies, current challenges, and future actions of a feminist movement
that remains as vibrant as it is varied.
This film features interviews with Jennifer Baumgardner, Ana Liza
Caballes, Leslie Calman, Lisa Duggan, Jane Gould, Hester Eisenstein,
Amber Hollibaugh, Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz, Janet Jakobsen, Temma Kaplan,
Vivien Labaton, Dawn Lundy Martin, Dr. Andree-Nicola McLaughlin, Sunita
Metha, Nancy K. Miller, Elizabeth Minnich, Debra O'Gara, Riya Ortiz, Ann
Pellegrini, Amy Richards, Susan Reimer Sacks, Dean Spade, and Emily Woo
Yamasaki.

The rate of imprisonment in the United States has been rising at
exponential rates. In the last two decades alone, the population of
incarcerated women has increased by 400 percent. At the heart of these
numbers we find not only a certain philosophy of crime and punishment,
but also complex and largely unexamined attitudes toward those we
imprison. On April 8, 2006, building on an ongoing conversation that the
Barnard Center for Research on Women has facilitated through its Women
Seeking Justice lecture series, we hosted a daylong conference to
investigate the causes and consequences of women's imprisonment both
domestically and abroad. Rebecca Haimowitz weaves segments of this
conference and post-conference interviews in this important film that
considers the ways in which incarceration is ultimately and inextricably
linked to such issues as race, class, education, national identity, and
gender conformity.
This video was included in issue 5.3 of our webjournal S&F Online, "Women, Prisons and Change."
