Who Does She Think She Is?: Film Screening

Tuesday, December 1, 2009 6:00 PM

OSU Women's Center and Corvallis Artisans Market present Who Does She Think She Is?, directed by Pamela Tanner Boll. This film examines some of the most pressing issues of our time: parenting and creativity, partnering and independence, economics and art.

The film focuses on five bold female artists, each radically different in background, race, creed and artistic field. Sharing in the common challenge of making art careers, they are pulled in different directions as they try to answer the competing demands of artistic fulfillment, marriage, motherhood and economic survival.
