Lefties: Angry Wimmin

Vanessa Engle's 3-part series looks back at the 1970s and 80s, revisiting a passionate and turbulent era when the extreme left was a significant force and many lived out their profound commitment to a political cause. This programme recalls Revolutionary Feminists, who castigated the mainstream women's movement for being soft on men, and called on women to become 'political lesbians', believing that women would never be free until they withdrew from sexual relations with men.
