There is an understanding in our culture that is subtle and mostly unspoken, that women succumb to a certain second-class life. Even though there is more consciousness now of this issue it still resonates deeply, and we are all marked by it, both women and men. However, it is the females among us that suffer most from the downside of this cultural blindness that binds our growth and development.

This 8-part series depicts the life of women from toddler to elder. Each age focuses on the challenges to women at certain points in their development giving us a sense of what is experienced and how these challenges both impair and energize their paths.
