Half of all women in the United States today will marry a spouse with children – and millions more all over the world were raised by stepmothers. Yet the most enduring stereotype of stepfamilies in popular imagination remains the “Wicked Stepmother.” Is this helping us? Stepmothers report depression at nearly double the rate of biological mothers and are at far higher risk of psychological strain than stepfathers. What can we do? Six women channel their art into their fight to be seen, heard, and ultimately understood.

What our screening reviewers said: "Millions of women are unnecessarily stigmatized - making blended families even more challenging than need be."

"Fascinating look at a group that has been kept in the shadows."
