Who Does She Think She Is?

This is a really powerful film about women's struggles to engage in caregiving and creative work, and it crosses a lot of boundaries, making it of interest to men, women without children, and mothers who are not artists, as well as the artist-mothers shown in the film.
It would be a great basis for a community conversation at FSP... in the meantime, take a trip to the Frontier, which is lovely to begin with!

Who Does She Think She Is?, a documentary by Academy Award winning filmmaker Pamela Tanner Boll, features five fierce women who refuse to choose. Through their lives, we explore some of the most problematic intersections of our time: mothering and creativity, partnering and independence, economics and art. The film invites us to consider both ancient legacies of women worshiped as cultural muses and more modern times where most people can't even name a handful of female artists.
