The Pursuit of Pleasure
Description
Produced by Dr. Maryanne Galvin in 2004, this lively documentary challenges many of the commonly held beliefs about female sexuality, gender roles, and relationships. According to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, this 52 minute educational and entertaining program features seven articulate, highly diverse women discussing marriage, celibacy, sexuality, sensuality, gender roles, beauty, sisterhood, community, intimacy and work. Ranging from a Generation X midwife to a 94 year old psychologist and sex therapist, the women profiled offer varied perspectives on the evolution of pleasure since the women's movement began over forty years ago. These women are not high profile activists, but real women whose lives have been affected by changes in our society.
