Uncommon Women, and Others brings a uniquely varied group of women together as they meet for lunch one day in 1978 to talk about their lives and their time back in college. Structured as a series of flashbacks to 1972, we meet seven seniors and one freshman as they grapple with the uncertainty and frustrations of choosing what to do after graduation and try to "discover themselves" in the wake of second-wave feminism. In the early 1970's during a time of great social change, the traditional family expectations for young women were giving way to new possibilities. This dynamic spectrum of women, confused about their purposes and goals in life, come together to express their emotions, reveal their insecurities, and share their dreams in hopes to envision the future that lies ahead of them.
