What Call Jane is
Thelma and Louise, without the car. When a Chicago housewife faces a life-threatening pregnancy in 1968, she finds herself stonewalled by an all-male medical establishment. An underground collective of women offer her a solution. It's a solid if familiar depiction of proto-feminist activism.
