Storyline

Society has long pressured women into an either/or situation: Either you raise a family, or you pursue a career. This documentary features five women who do not accept such a division but instead strive to balance their artistic pursuits with raising children. Rather than being detrimental, the challenges of each pursuit reinforce and enrich those of the other. This is examined within the larger context of women's representation in the male-dominated art world.

Short Review

Great film not yet in DVD but only available by special viewing. I saw it in an art gallery in Vancouver, WA. Touches on creativity, feminism, and how our culture tends to be more patriarchal. Will mothering and creativity reign again in the future? To be continued...
