For 60 years Egyptian women have been gradually entering all sectors of the public work force. Work outside the home, once considered shameful, as today become a necessity. Today, nearly 40% of Egyptian women contribute in some way to providing the family income. The Price of Change examines the consequences of work for five women; a factory worker with four children, a rural village leader involved in family planning, a doctor, a social worker and a member of Parliament who is also speaker for the opposition party. The video presents a picture of changing attitudes to work, the family, sex and women's place in society.
