Rosalind Coward presents the arguments from her ground-breaking book ‘Our Treacherous Hearts: Why Women Let Men Get their Way’ (Faber & Faber 1992) in this stylish film directed by Agnieska Piotrowska. It examines how women collude with old patterns of “feminine” behaviour which encircle and limit them; two pairs of sisters examine their lives from girlhood to the present day.
Produced by Large Door for Channel 4’s ‘Female Parts’ series, first shown May 1992.
