A 60-year-old woman responds to the question, "Why are you in art school at your age?" by telling the story of the struggles and adventures that have brought her to this stage of her life. Using a narrative voice and a variety of visual techniques-photographs, drawings, paintings, cartoons, computer graphics-she touches on experiences and issues that resonate for many women-marriage, mothering, welfare, work, isolation, depression, survival, and strength.
