Summary

In the summer of 2024, I did research for two episodes of Tegenlicht. 

The Mother of All Myths: Although the Netherlands prides itself on equal rights for women, mothers still bear the primary responsibility for childcare. We tend to think that the “maternal instinct” naturally equips every woman for this role. Is the sentimental glorification of motherhood a failing of society? Director: Maren Merckx

From Feminist to Feminine: Trends like #exfeminist, #sahg and #tradwives highlight a growing desire to embrace femininity. Is it possible to be both feminist and feminine? Director: Eefje Suikerbuijk
