Med udgangspunkt i egne erindringer og samtaler med sin mormor, der er født i 1905, tegner Hanne-Vibeke Holst et billede af det tyvende århundredes kvindeliv, længsler, forventninger og krav. Med blikket rettet mod moderne kvinders adfærd og selvopfattelse gør hun status og spørger: "Vreden, gudinde, hvor blev den af?"
