Filmed in 1969, this poignant portrait of a young mother was one of the first independent films of the fledgling Women’s Movement. For women brought up in the soap commercial optimism of the time, it articulated the reality that many young mothers experienced - isolated in their homes, cleaning up after their children, and dreaming of the careers they might have had.

This short film helped to give voice to a generation of American women whose expectations, opportunities and career choices were extremely limited.
