The title uses playfully-animated watercolor illustrations, inspired by graphic design of the 1970s, to evoke the spirit of the women’s movement of that era. Giving feminists and conservative activists equal time, the sequence conjures the milieu of the 1970s by presenting whimsical reminders of things that were a familiar part of women’s lives at the time from megaphones and protest signs to curlers, hair dryers, Good Housekeeping magazine and homemade blueberry pie.
