This is a great portrait of three "tough old broads" who fought and continue to fight the system. They are women who are continuing to push for change and inspire women today. Their stories are so compelling that I really wish that each of the women were given a feature of their own. There is just so much to each story that you'll be left wanting to know more.
If there is any flaw in the film it's the fact that the film constrantly is cutting between the women. Everytime each tale get a good head of steam we jump to the next tale. While far from fatal it fed my desire for three stand alone features.
Minor quibble aside, this is a great film and is highly recommended.
