# I Was A Teenage Feminist (2005)

2005 · Documentary · United States


## Synopsis

I Was A Teenage Feminist is a Canadian documentary film directed by Therese Shechter, produced by UpFront Productions and distributed by Women Make Movies. The title is a play on that of the 1957 horror movie, I Was a Teenage Werewolf. The film explores the marked discomfort among many young, progressive women to identify themselves as feminists and how that discomfort came to be. Through personal narrative as well as interviews with feminist icons and everyday women and men, Shechter's film documents a complex, multi-generational look at feminist identity in today's world. The film had its television premiere on March 8, 2005 Canada's W Network, and it won Best Film at the National Council of Jewish Women Film Festival and Special Mention at the Karachi International Film Festival in 2006.
