00:00Most girls, we're feisty when we're young.
00:04But you have to be a good girl.
00:06Well, all your life, you know, people are saying, be a good girl.
00:09Well, that implies that you're not.
00:11In the mid-70s, photographer Cynthia McAdams
00:15thought women looked different because of feminism.
00:18They look free. You want to be like them.
00:21Forty years later, we look at the culture then and now.
00:24It was a hard time.
00:26We were told we had to put our concerns and issues on the sideline
00:31for the greater good.
00:34Their eyes remind us that the challenge is still there.
00:38It is difficult to identify as a feminist
00:42because it's so stigmatized in our communities.
00:44You shut me down. You like the control.
00:48In order to change it, we had to become disobedient.
01:09All of us gained from the fact that there was a women's movement.
01:13Yes, we are anti-racist and we are for women's rights.
01:20We thought we were going to change it all.
01:24We're all uniting and we're building solidarity
01:27across these different struggles.
01:31I see it in the next generation already.
01:35The men I know who were raised by single mothers
01:37are different men.
01:39The young people who don't care what race someone is
01:42are different people.
01:44and we contributed to that.
