Rosemary Brown, former B.C. cabinet minister, social activist and educator, gives a startling account of the high incidence of poverty among women to an eager audience of male and female high-school students. The film outlines the role of women--both past and present--in the work force and in society, as well as the causes and possible solutions to the "feminization of poverty." This film is the first in a three part series.
