Some thoughts on Female, a pre-code film starring Ruth Chatterton.
“It’s art to cook, garden, dance, sing, play an instrument, and compose music. It’s art to create clothes from a piece of fabric or to “see” a piece of furniture within a pile of wood.

A place where we can sigh out our sentences and sing out our silences.
