With the media supported spin of “We Want Our Country Back”, which is another way of saying we want to be backwards, I think about people like Ida Lupino, Toni Morrison, Alice Neel, Sylvia Moy and many other women artists who have enriched our lives.
Ida Lupino in her way brought reality to the screen as a director and producer, touching on issues that women encountered but did not openly discuss. As the only women director at a major movie studio at the time, I imagine there must have been a lot of resistance to many of the movies that Lupino wanted to make and she got them made. The MoMA has a Film Exhibition beginning August 26–September 20, 2010 “Ida Lupino: Mother Directs”
The Women’s Revolution will make us safer in the long run.
