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.
