The Personal Story

Description

For generations, the personal lives of women around the world have been defined by the expectation that they will be solely wives and mothers. These assumptions were overturned in the twentieth century, and now women are redefining the place of marriage, childbirth, and sex in their lives. In this episode we meet the women, from the deserts of West Africa to Beijing, challenging society's expectations of them, and putting women's domestic stories on the global agenda.
