Paving the Way

Four women who have successfully achieved high-status jobs usually held by men are featured in Paving the Way. Each encountered resistance to their goals, and overcame the tremendous odds against them. All four began their careers in the '50s, when women who aspired to high ranks in the military, the political arena, law, and religion were discouraged and subject to ridicule and discrimination. The four include Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Reverend Addie Wyatt, Major General Jeanne Holm, and Congresswoman Patsy Mink. Barbara Feldon narrates. ~ Alice Day, All Movie Guide
