Who Does She Think She Is?



In a half-changed world, women often feel the need to choose: mothering or working? My children’s well-being or my own? Responsibility or self-expression? You are invited to a girls’ night out, June 16, 7 pm, in the Ballroom of the McPherson Opera House. We will show the documentary “Who Does She Think She Is” by Academy Award winning film maker Pamela Tanner Boll, who features five fierce women who refuse to choose. Following the film, McPherson College English professor, Dr. Kim Stanley, will lead an engaging and fun discussion, while VAAM artists serve refreshments. Attendance is free.
