This week we look at three films depicting women who have interesting
jobs...but more importantly, these films are stories of women whose jobs
lead to very interesting things! This may be the biggest range of films
in any one episode of this podcast so far, covering almost 60 years and
including 3 different language industries:
• Mahanagar (Satyajit Ray, 1963, Bengali)
• Umbartha (Jabbar Patel, 1982, Marathi)
• Shakuntala Devi (Anu Menon, 2020, Hindi)
While we don't think a woman's job outside the home defines her, we do
think Indian cinema has made some amazing stories about what happens
when a woman steps out of the home and family into the wider world to
learn, earn, and succeed on her own.
