Screen the film in the context of discussion about the relationship between sports, women’s rights and gender issues. Have students research the history of women’s rights in Canada, examine how women’s roles have changed and discuss present gender-based inequities. Consider inviting women who work in non-traditional careers (for example, athletes, military personnel or firefighters) to visit the class to discuss the challenges they face and the obstacles they have overcome.
