Premise

[edit]

CBC's 1972 attempt to produce a women's issues series, All About Women, was cancelled before its first broadcast on grounds that it excessively focused on sexuality.[1] This effort featured a wider scope of topics including abortion, cosmetic surgery and spousal abuse. Margo Lane, who was selected to host All About Women, was host of this series.[2]

Scheduling

[edit]

This half-hour series was broadcast Thursdays at 10:00 p.m. (Eastern) from 28 June to 20 September 1973.
