Are women suited to heavy manual work? This documentary seeks to challenge the previously accepted traditional roles of women in the workplace. Interviewed are women who have chosen careers as a painter, a carpenter, a chemist and a trade unionist. The programme also asks why some tasks that women do in the home should be a male preserve outside it. (1978) Show less
