Who Does She Think She Is? focuses on five particularly bold women artists, each radically different in background, race, religious creed and choice of artistic field. But they all share the common challenge of making careers in various art worlds. Simultaneous to their creative existence, they are pulled in different directions as they try to answer the competing demands of artistic fulfillment, marriage, motherhood and economic survival.

From Hawaii’s Big Island to the suburbs of Ohio, from New York City to the deserts of New Mexico, Who Does She Think She Is? follows five women, ranging in age from 27 to 65, as they each chart a path to create their individual type of art.

Interviews with such experts as Riane Eisler (The Chalice and the Blade), Maura Reilly (Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art- Brooklyn Museum) and Leonard Shlain (The Goddess Versus the Alphabet) add a cultural context for these women’s compelling journeys.
