The material is not presented in chronological order but is paced to sequences that logically relate to each other- such as women in the arts, women in science, women in business, women in athletics, women who dare to be "first." Representative women include Barbara Jordan, Elizabeth Blackwell, Susan B. Anthony, Clare Booth Luce, Eleanor Roosevelt and many more. <P>As for the narration, add another marvelous performance to Julie Harris' long list of triumphs. Her distinctive interpretation of the script adds its own dimension to this parade of accomplishments. <P>Entertaining as well as informative, A Woman's Place appeals to women and men alike. It is most timely, yet timeless. It is an altogether uplifting video experience for any and all audiences. <P>V.I.E.W. VIDEO releases the finest programming in all areas of jazz, opera, classical music, dance, fine art and modern lifestyles. Reader Reviews I bought this video to use in a women's history program for teenagers, but I did not use it. It has not aged well. The girls would have been bored silly. The narrator uses a very monotonous voice which quickly began to grate on my nerves. Many of the women she talks about were recognizable names in the 1970s, but are no longer part of our culture now. I could not stand to watch more than about 10 minutes of it. I do not recommend it. I will probably throw my copy away.
