Overview
"In 1874 Paris, France, women are expected to focus on marriage, children and perhaps a feminine craft, but twenty-year-old Rosalie Autry desires none of these. As a result, she is banished from her family home due to her aspiration to be a renowned sculptor. She has the skill, talent, and creativity necessary to be successful, but because she is a woman, none of that matters. She is rejected from art schools, discriminated against at exhibitions, and is banned from having live models. With the help of a progressively-thinking friend, Arthur, Rosalie attempts to overcome every challenge thrown at her as she strives to make a living as an artist and alter society's prejudice against female sculptors. The Statement Piece provides a feminist look at the art world through the eyes of a resilient young woman as she navigates through the tears and tribulations of pursuing a male-dominated craft." -- Abstract
