The short film ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. What do you imagine Kathy would have said about some of the problems women face in society at this time? In many ways, the roles of women have changed, but in some ways, not much has changed since Kathy’s time. Outline some of the key areas of growth for women in the workforce, and highlight the major ways that society has not changed since this film was released in 1974. How are these changes different for those from marginalized groups or new immigrants?
