Pamela Tanner Boll's articulate documentary, Who Does She Think She Is?, answers that question with a qualified 'Yes.'" – V.A. Musetto, New York Post "Who Does She Think She Is? delivers its fair share of dispiriting statistics. But its impulse is visionary, not plaintive. Exploring the challenges of being a female artist and, in particular, the thorny balancing act between motherhood and artistic expression, Pamela Tanner Boll and Nancy Kennedy have made a vibrant film." – Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times "A highly accessible film, Who Does She Think She Is? seems appropriate for a host of introductory courses focusing on gender, history, art history, and the family. The issues it broaches both around women's creative practices and their motherhood roles will no doubt spark productive conversations." – Susan Richmond, Films for the Feminist Classroom "Every school in every town and city should show this film... It is a testimonial to the human spirit alive and well in the lives of those who dare to stand up and be counted in original ways." – Dr. Cara Barker, The Huffington Post "This film clearly has a place in classrooms—I for one want to show it in my intro women's studies course in the spring!" – Amy Rutstein-Riley, Ph.D., Professor, Lesley University "...the art's there to inspire and uplift." – Robert Wilonsky, The Village Voice "This is a topic that will speak to many, many women." – Justine Shapiro, Promises Films "A compelling documentary film on women artists..." – Cathy Malchiodi, Psychology Today |
