As they begin to explore their womanhood, they face a conservative society. Attempting to control them and guarantee suitable marriages, their family makes them prisoners in their homes, but that doesn’t stop hope and rebellious aspirations.  The screening and discussion will take place at The Miniplex at Richards’ Goat 401 I Street, Arcata, CA 95521  For more information, go to https://www.facebook.com/events/572993006399175/ or contact Leena Dallasheh, Project Director at ld1145@humboldt.edu or 707-826-5937 This event is part of a series supported by California Humanities through an Humanities for All Quick Grant.
