Synopsis
A 1916 advertisement for a Wyoming woman librarian says, "Must be able to get along with Western people, ride and drive, as well as pack a horse, follow a trail, shoot straight, run an automobile, and be able to rough it whenever necessary!" That spirit is still out there. Meet a group of today's Wyoming women and girls. As diverse as they are distinct. 13 vibrant stories from the heart of Wyoming.
Background
In January 2007, the Equipoise Fund invited people in Wyoming to nominate women and girls whose stories they found inspiring for our film project. More than 150 nominations came in from women and men all over the state. They nominated their neighbor, their student, their grandmother, and women they did not know personally, whose stories had impressed them.
Our hope is that the stories in our film will make Wyoming women and girls visible -- so that other women and girls will be inspired, and so that women's and girls' important roles in the life of our state will be valued as they deserve.
The film premiered on April 25th to a full house at the Rialto Theater in Casper, WY and will be making its way around the state at events hosted by Equality Initiatives.
To inquire about showing the film, please contact associate producer Amy McCarthy at 307.690.8514 or by email.
