Betty Friedan

Le soir du 30 avril 1971, un public de lettré·es et de militant·es se presse à l'hôtel de ville de New York pour voir l'écrivain, scénariste, réalisateur et acteur Norman Mailer (qui vient d'écrire "The Prisoner of Sex") débattre avec un panel d'intellectuelles féministes. Le sujet est la libération des femmes, question sur laquelle Mailer se fait l'avocat du diable. Pour le mettre à l'épreuve sont notamment réunies l'écrivaine et critique Jill Johnston (autrice de "Lesbian Nation : The Feminist Solution"), la critique littéraire Diana Trilling, la présidente de la National Organization of Women (NOW), Jacqueline Ceballos, et peut-être son adversaire la plus coriace, l'autrice de "La Femme eunque" à la langue affûtée, Germaine Greer. Cet événement a fait date, et ce film se révèle stimulant ainsi que diablement divertissant.
