Query From Shafali Lal shafali.lal@yale.edu 23 Mar 1998
I am looking for feminist documentary films made post WWII particularly relating to women and their bodies - any suggestions?
Responses:
"Famine Within, The" HBO re: eating disorders
"Killing Us Softly" It's focused on women and bodies and advertising.
"Women: A True Story - Body Politics" Available from Films for the Humanities and Sciences...includes components on eating disorders, growth in women's athletics, etc.
Other Suggestions:
Film entitled "Body Beautiful", no other info

Women Make Movies is a wonderful source of films on this topic, i.e.
The Body Beautiful
Girls Like Us [working class girls]
Rachel's Daughters [breast cancer]
Under The Skin Game [Norplant]
Jane: An Abortion Service
Healthy Baby Girl [DES]
and many more. Email an order for a catalogue at Orders@wmm.com or call 212-925-0606
