Once again this year, AAUW-Illinois displayed a multitude of books about Jane Addams (for adults & kids) in preparation for the 3rd annual Jane Addams Day (celebrated in Illinois every December 10—the day Jane Addams became the first American woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize). New WITASWAN flyers & SWAN Day buttons & magnets were also distributed by the hands-ful!

I really wanted to like this film written by husband/wife team Dave Eggers & Vendela Vida, but alas. Road trips are always choppy but this one is totally sliced & diced. Were filmmakers so bored by back story clichés that they couldn’t bother constructing any personal histories? If we don’t believe any of these characters really know each other, then what’s the point? On the plus side, I liked the quirky music by Alexi Murdoch & stylish cinematography by Ellen Kuras.

See THE SOLOIST @ Multiplexes!
Based on previews & colleague buzz, we didn’t expect to be so moved by THE SOLOIST, but we were. We saw it twice & loved it. Highly recommended!

See LEMON TREE @ Art Houses!
The wonderful new Israeli film LEMON TREE is currently playing in multiple metro art house theatres. LEMON TREE stars Palestinian actress Hiam Abbass (who played “Mouna” in THE VISITOR) & she’s quite simply one of the best actors to be seen on screen anywhere in the world today!

The National Museum of Women in the Arts opens the “Art News” section of its Spring ’09 issue with information about SWAN Day!!! And they augment this important recognition of our efforts with supporting data from a new NEA survey about the gender pay gap in the arts, proving that SWAN Day has, in fact, targeted an important Pay Equity issue.
Now if only the NMWA will tell us why founder Wilhelmina Cole Holladay is wearing a swan pin in all her official photos. Is this just a fabulous coincidence???
PS: The back cover announces the addition of a new piece by sculptor Magdelena Abakanowicz specially created for NMWA. Abakanowicz was one of the participants in DINNER AT JANE’S (a documentary film by Suzanne Lacy about a feminist confab at Hull-House in 1993 coincident with the Centennial Celebrations for Chicago’s Columbian Exposition).
