WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?

From the director of Born Into Brothels, Pamela Tanner Boll, this new documentary is a powerful and inspiring film about five passionate women artists who defy having to choose between motherhood and creativity, despite staggering odds. When one thinks of the most famous females who had a career (Amelia Earhart, Virginia Woolfe, Emily Dickenson, Georgia O’Keefe), not one of them had children. How can women today defy societal expectations and be successful both as mothers, wives and artists? For more information, visit www.whodoesshethinksheis.net

The Association for the Study of Women & Mythology is thrilled to announce our first multi-day biennial conference, to be held April 23-25 at the Kirkridge retreat center, Bangor, PA, in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, several hours from New York City and Philadelphia.

Our film festival will host the world premiere of "Pink Smoke Over the Vatican," about the ordination of Catholic women priests, and will feature ethnologist Sabine Jell-Bahlson's films on Mammywata.

Poetry readings, art displays, ritual, performances (including music by Ruth Barrett and a reading by Elizabeth Cunningham) and interactive programs will be featured.

Topics include lady of the beasts, publishing goddess scholarship, archaeomythology, spiritual geometry and the goddess, the divine feminine as vortex, finding your sacred language, the wheel of the year as spiritual psychology, frog mysteries, and much more.

Don't miss this unique gathering. Space is limited and registration closes April 15--or sooner if we sell out.

To register, and for more information, go to the conference page on the ASWM website: http://womenandmythology.wordpress.com/2010-conference/
