Master Smart Woman
A film by Jane Morrison in collaboration with photographer Peter Namuth
1984, 28 minutes, Color, VHS/16mm
Order No. W99310
From the award-winning director of THE WHITE HERON and THE TWO WORLDS OF ANGELITA, this loving portrait is a much deserved re-evaluation of Sarah Orne Jewett's contribution to American literature. Recently rediscovered by feminist literary scholars, Jewett was a fiercely independent woman, a critically acclaimed 19th century author, and an important role model for a generation of women writers.
