CBS Affiliate KPIX, San Francisco
A small group of feminists fighting for women's rights infiltrated the annual CBS shareholder meeting, held for the first time on the West Coast. They were there to challenge the corporation’s sexist programming and limited employment opportunities for women. Nearby, protestors from the Women's Rights Movement demonstrated outside the local CBS affiliate. They picketed, chanted and put on a guerrilla theater skit. Using banners, signs and costumes, the protesters satirized the sexist way the media portrayed women and the gendered approach to pitching products.
