Who Does She Think She Is?
April 23, 2010
A Compelling Film that Examines the Lives of Five Women
Explores the Balancing Act Issues of Our Time.
From the producing team, that won an Academy Award for Born Into Brothels, comes WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?, a film that examines some of the most pressing balancing-act issues of our time: parenting and work, partnering and independence, economics and art.
Follows the Lives of Five Women
WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? follows five women artists as they navigate the economic, psychological, and spiritual challenges of making work outside the elite art world.
From studios in Cambridge and Providence to the suburbs of Ohio, from Hawaii’s Big Island to New York City, from the deserts of New Mexico to the tropics of St. Vincent, we watch as these women, ranging in age from 27 to 65, fight to honor their vision and their families every day.

Martin (Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters), Tiffany Shlain (The Webby Awards) and the Guerrilla Girls add a cultural context for these women’s uplifting journeys.
It is not accolades these women artists seek; it’s simply the radical opportunity to live whole.
