The F-Word
A Video about Feminism
A videotape by Marcia Jarmel and Erin Gallagher

Grades 9 and up

A stimulating must-see for teens learning about women’s history in the US, "The F-Word" explores the meaning and misconceptions behind the word “feminism” in contemporary American culture. Created to inspire dialogue and debate, this irreverent documentary gets to the heart of feminism by dismantling the word itself and exploring the concept of feminism. "The F-Word" is an ideal discussion starter on issues related to gender, sex roles and stereotypes and history of the feminist movement.
