No More Nice Girls is an eye-grabbing commentary on feminism in the late 1980s revealed through conversational eavesdropping. Four fictional characters, all women in their late 30s , early 40s , who were active in the Womens movement (“Ageing feminists from hell”, as one of them puts it) discuss the post feminist backlash of the eighties. Combined with these fragmented dialogues Braderman uses her home movies of family life, books, posters and superimposed hand-written quotation to create a multi-layered interventionaist text. This blend of radical feminism, personal recollection and topical gossip is highly critical of the post-feminist condition, yet remains entertaining, humorous and challenging.
