"Makers: Voices of Utah Women" on Monday's Access Utah

kued.org

"Makers: Voices of Utah Women" is a new documentary which premieres February 26 on KUED.  According to the producers, the film “tells the story of the women’s movement in Utah through the firsthand accounts of leaders and activists who fought to alter the social fabric of the state.  It was a time when women were learning to speak up and speak out.  A time when women had different visions of what equality meant.  A time when the voices of Utah women would finally be heard.” 

 We’ll remember this important time in Utah’s history and look ahead with Producer Nancy Green and three women featured in the film: former Congresswoman Karen Shepherd, Utah Supreme Court Justice Christine Durham, and Utah Eagle Forum President Gayle Ruzicka.
