Program One Run Like a Girl And Baby Makes Two Leona's Sister Gerri

Tonight's program focuses on feminist issues--female athletes, single mothers, and abortion rights--and their impact on everyday American life.

Run Like a Girl sensitively examines how young female athletes try to find a balance between strength and femininity in a society that expects them to be delicate and compliant. (Carol Cassidy, 1999; 60 mins.)

And Baby Makes Two focuses on the increasing number of independent women nearing the end of their reproductive years who choose to bear a child without benefit of husbands or boyfriends.(Judy Katz, Oran Rudavsky, 1999; 60 mins.)

Abortion rights are at the center of Leona's Sister Gerri, an emotionally wrenching account of a women left for dead in a motel room after a botched illegal abortion. (Jane Gillooly, 1995; 60 mins.)
