What’s Your Point, Honey? Promotes Not One, But Many Women Leaders

Nearly 100 years after universal suffrage, U.S. women have yet to hold the highest office in the land. Currently, they make up 18 percent of governors, 16 percent of senators and 16 percent of representatives. What’s being done to change these statistics? Filmmakers Amy Sewell and Susan Toffler confront this question head on in their upbeat feminist documentary, What’s Your Point, Honey? Through candid and formal interviews with pre-teens, prominent women leaders and everyone in between, the directors have created a film about and for young women who dream of doing great things.
AdvancingWomen.com is proud to support all young women…. and, in fact, all mature women as well, who dream of doing great things. We look forward to seeing one of them sworn in as President of the United States one day.
But as the film’s subtitle, “It’s not about one…” reminds us, it’s not just about getting one woman to the top position, but shifting the political climate so that, by the time these young girls are of eligible running age, it will “be so normal for women to run that we’ll never look back.”
