RAVING REVIEW: <\/strong>One of the most entertaining and enlightening experiences I’ve had all year. Even though these films were made over 100 years ago, they are, oddly enough, as timely as ever.<\/p>\n

\n

The title of this film set is intentionally named to draw your attention and point out the hypocrisy of the person who coined that term. It’s a new time; groups are proudly stealing hate-filled words and making them their own instead of allowing them to be weaponized against them. This entire series of films is about empowerment and showing that women taking a stand against the status quo isn’t a new trend.<\/p>\n

Initially, I had assumed I would screen a few of these across the multiple discs. 14+ hours later, I had watched all four discs in their entirety and was left wanting more. These films cover a little bit of everything; even the shortest left you with a smile. “These women organize labor strikes, bake (and weaponize) inedible desserts, explode out of chimneys, electrocute the police force, and assume a range of identities that gleefully dismantle traditional gender norms and sexual constraints.”<\/p>\n

The best part is that the films were as important as the introductions and mini-documentaries. At times it almost felt like these films were more in your face than anything of today, and I loved it. I also love seeing the active work to preserve these lesser-known films for generations. While you may not know their names, their stories are timeless.<\/p>\n

The sad realization that women are still fighting for some of the same things today that they were fighting for in these films is heartbreaking. As a nation, it feels like we’re taking one step forward and two giant steps backward. Film projects like this go a long way in sharing the history of these “nasty women.” <\/p>\n
