Lipstick and Dynamite is a documentary about Women's wrestling in the 50's and 60's. Directed by Ruth Leitman. Featuring such female wrestlers as the Great Mae Young and the Fabulous .
Each female wrestler told their story and surprisingly many were very similar. I believe the film accomplished everything it was suppose to do. It showed what life was like for women wrestler of that era, some of the individual stories were success stories and others not so much. It also briefly showed how women's wrestling is now and compared to those days it's totally different. Women were not treated equally back then and these women wrestler were tough (they were bad asses)! These women are the reason why women's wrestling is still around. The documentary was entertaining throughout and I really enjoyed it.
