| Notes |
"Women of all ages, backgrounds and circumstances open up on screen about what really matters to them. Meeting some at a time of uncertainty, a turning point for others and for a lucky few, a time of accomplishment and happiness. This landmark documentary series lifts the lid on Australian women’s lives, from a post-feminism perspective. Some viewers will find it reassuring, others infuriating, that for the women in this series, body image, mating and child-bearing may still be their predominant drivers. Focusing on individual women, who tell their own stories and share their innermost thoughts, giving expression to the universal challenges and perspectives of their contemporaries. Why does attractive young legal secretary Ellen want a breast enlargement? Is happiness a ‘big fat Greek wedding’ for Helen? Will yoga teacher Tara’s IVF attempt and fertility rituals help her to achieve the pregnancy she so longs for? Will Val become the first ever woman Mayor of Cairns? From the painful uncertainties of youth, moving through the 'productive' years of career and/or parenting, to the postmenopausal twilight years without a rocking chair in sight. It is a powerful contribution to our understanding of women in 21st century Australia." -- Program website |
