Quoting the brochure: "Is it possible for woman to achieve success in their chosen careers and be successful as mothers and wives without having to choose? This question is the subject in a new documentary directed by Academy Award winning filmmaker, Pamela Tanner Boll (Born into Brothels). Who Does She Think She is? is an engaging look at five female artists from radically backgrounds who share the common challenge of having successful careers in various art fields, while refusing to choose between parenting or working, their children's wellbeing or their own, responsibility or self expression. Through their lives we explore some of the most problematic issues of our time: mothering and creativity, partnering and independence, economics and art. In the edn, the diverse woman in the film demonstrate that creativity and care giving are not mutually exclusive, but deeply connected. Some may ask, "Who does she think she is?" But if you are successful, you just smile and say, "This is who I am""
