In this powerful and rarely seen episode from the acclaimed “Woman” television series, host Sandra Elkin sits down with two of the feminist movement’s most outspoken critics: Midge Decter, author and literary editor of Saturday Review World, and Lucianne Goldberg, co-founder of the Pussycat League and co-author of Purr Baby Purr.

This in-depth conversation explores the early backlash to second-wave feminism, delving into complex topics such as motherhood, sexual freedom, female identity, gender roles, and the personal vs. political struggles of women in modern society. Both women critique what they perceive as the self-destructive rhetoric of the women’s liberation movement and express concern over its long-term impact on women, men, and society at large.
