The Feminist and the Fuzz

A pediatrician and ardent women's lib advocate who pushes for equal treatment in all spheres. Her militant stance often puts her at odds with authority and traditional expectations, yet she remains deeply committed to her cause and to personal relationships. Her sharp wit and determination drive much of the film’s conflict and romance.

A police officer whose ideal of ‘ladies first’ clashes with Jane’s feminist push. He struggles with secrets and his own evolving view of gender roles, ultimately torn between duty and desire. His pursuit of Jane culminates in a charged, affectionate moment that tests his beliefs.

A fellow physician and militant organizer who orchestrates disruptive actions to advance women’s lib causes. Bold and unyielding, she embodies the confrontational wing of the movement and drives key confrontations with both the club’s crowd and law enforcement.

A prostitute and aspiring porn actress who maneuvers through the social maze of the club scene while seeking shelter. Her presence adds a raw, vulnerable layer to the apartment’s dynamics and underscores the era’s sexual undercurrents.

A Bunny at the Playboy Club whose relationship with Jerry introduces another facet of the era’s nightlife and gender politics. Her reactions to Jane’s activism reveal competing loyalties and affection within the social circle.

A liberal lawyer engaged to Jane’s friend group, whose masochistic fascination with Debby’s assertiveness hints at complex power dynamics within the movement. He embodies the era’s evolving attitudes toward women and authority.

A symbolic figure within the protest milieu, representing the movement’s public face and the shifting visibility of feminist goals. Her appearances punctuate the film’s conversations about gender equality and social change.
