Sometimes you need to look squint at history to see the women in it — they so often have not been documented, recorded, or commemorated. Today, there are still huge disparities in gender equality, equal pay being a prime example. This massive issue is explored through the lens of the story of the Edinburgh Seven (the first women to study medicine in Britain, but who were prevented from graduating) and a recent day project fighting for their recognition. It is a production that features predominantly women, and in doing so the film does what it’s making clear is so often neglected — documenting and commemorating women well worth remembering.
