The Office of the Gender & Women’s Studies Librarian is delighted to present the fourth installment of collaborative film reviews by student staff and Heather Shimon, the office’s former student staff supervisor. Each year, Heather and some of the students working here have picked a woman-focused film at the Wisconsin Film Festival to watch and discuss. In the spring of 2013, Bess and Melissa were back to review The World Before Her, a documentary filmed in India about two very different kinds of boot camps: one that prepares women for the Miss India pageant, and another that calls girls to militant action.

At the end of the film, de Prima reads her poem “The Poetry Deal,” in which she addresses poetry itself as her life companion with whom she has a deal:

...You can burn my favorite snapshot of myself Lead me on paths or non-paths anywhere You can not make sense for years & I’ll still believe you drop husbands, tribes & jobs as you wish You mostly aren’t jealous - have taken yr place alongside gardens, breadmaking, children, printing presses But when yr eyes shoot sparks & you say “Choose between me & it” - “it” has always gone Except when “it” was my kids I took that risk & we worked it out somehow...1

di Prima writes in the language of the streets of her Bronx-Brooklyn-Manhattan-San Francisco experience, without revising or polishing, regarding the moment of inspiration-creation itself as definitive and revealing. Michael McClure describes her approach: “She forced what she wanted to be into being with a very big and good soul... She was interested in what hadn’t existed before.” Hers is a poetry of a woman raising her voice, figuratively and audibly. A theme throughout di Prima’s work is the rejection of traditional female roles. This is in tandem with the Beat re-

Even though the database does not provide full text coverage, Women’s Studies International is a superior database that indexes a large percentage of women’s studies core journals.” Project Muse — Scholarly Journals Online, citing Cindy Ingold's review in LIBRARY TRENDS, Vol. 56, No. 2, Fall 2007 (“Gender Issues in Information Needs and Services,” edited by Cindy Ingold and Susan E.
