(2019, Hebrew – from Israel)

Working Woman depicts the complex psychological dilemma of sexual harassment and abuse of women in the workplace and its impact on the family. External conflicts amplify the internal struggle between unconscious self-idealization and devaluation. Women identify with their mothers; in prior generations that often meant women were encouraged to raise children full-time rather than enter the professional world. For women in our modern world this becomes more complicated, particularly in religious communities that are resistant to social change. The movie addresses the problems of shared financial responsibilities and its impact on marital relationships, as well as the sexual harassment of young working women. The film gives the audience much to discuss regarding the characters’ creative adaptations to these internalized difficulties.

A discussion will be held after the film.
