What It Takes to Be a Woman 1975

Directed by Jaroslav Šikl

A mother of two children expends the same amount of calories caring for her family and household as a tractor driver does during eight hours of work. A scientific experiment based on data from the Occupational Safety Research Institute and the Institute of Hygiene and Diseases converts activities such as doing laundry, carrying groceries, and bathing children into numbers, thereby highlighting the amount of work that society overlooks as a gender-specific given.
