In November of l977, twenty thousand women and men left their jobs and homes in cities and towns around the country to meet at the first National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas. Their goal was to end discrimination against women and promote their equal rights. Rare archival footage breathes life into heated debates over issues like the equal rights amendment, reproductive freedom, lesbian rights, sexual preference and minority rights.
Former First Ladies Rosalynn Carter, Betty Ford, Lady Bird Johnson, and activists including Coretta Scott King, Bella Abzug and Barbara Jordan were on the front lines. Current interviews with Gloria Steinem, Ellie Smeal, Ann Richards, Carmen Delgado Votaw, Liz Carpenter and Betty Friedan bring a deeper understanding to the legacy of the Conference.
