This film addresses very important issues that remain ingrained in our culture today. Specifically, a culture that is male-dominated which desires to placate women by providing them with, "pay for doing housework." No real rights have been given to women that speak clearly that they have been made equal with men. To add to this, the story takes place 10 years after a revolution in America has occurred which overthrew the government in order to establish a Socialist Democracy. The reality is that the new government operates in name only, and carries on the pressing down of women and the marginalized. While a revolution is meant to bring the quality of change necessary to create unity and equality, the reality is that those who have become powerful are now seeking to remain in power and keep everyone else away from the chance to overthrow them.
Thus a new movement rises up in the Women's Army that begins first as a non-violent solution to stopping women from being victimized, assaulted, objectified and brutalized by men. However, this movement quickly learns that their non-violent ways are making little headway with the "minds" of revolution they seek advice from who believe they must rise up in a stronger way. This leads to Adelaide going to train overseas in order to bring the military training and tactics back to the states and the Women's Army. But, while it may appear women are being pushed aside, they are also being watched carefully by the FBI in order to prevent the overthrow of the current government's agenda which clearly seems to be to keep women and the marginalized groups of people pressed low and without the ability to have a voice--which is clear from the media manipulating the truth of the Women's Army in order to serve the current governments agenda. Thus, what is left for people who are constantly beaten down by political scheming? Quite simply they fight with violence as their voices have been quashed for far too long.
