This engaging two-part series chronicles how Chinese women broke with millennia-old traditions in the 20th century to forge a society that recognized them as equals—legally, at least, if only reluctantly in practice. From the controversial staging of Ibsen’s A Doll’s House through the Cultural Revolution, the series examines how Chinese women confronted social prejudice and successfully agitated for reform, effectively catapulting themselves from a traditional role of subservience into modernity as China enters the 21st century. 2-part series, 54-55 minutes each.
