Discussion to follow
Pain, Passion and Profit is an inspirational look at women entrepreneurs
through the eyes of Anita Roddick, the founder of the Body Shop who has
always maintained a strong commitment to the idea of “profits with
principles”. Several women in Africa who have successfully developed
small-scale business enterprises in their own communities provide a focus
for Roddick to pose questions about how the role and status of women
affects their enterprises and how those enterprises provide a means of
community and economic development for women. Pain, Passion and Profit
gives an in-depth look at global feminism and economic development as well
as a personal and spirited view of the connections between the experiences
of women entrepreneurs in the First and Third Worlds. 49 Minutes
This film is part of WSAC’s “Learning to be an Ally” series, and is
co-sponsored by the Office for University Women
