Therese Shechter

Therese Shechter is a multi-media storyteller based in Brooklyn. She creates and employs popular culture to explore how women shape their identities in the face of a society that seeks to define them. She’s currently creating the documentary "My So-Called Selfish Life," which takes on the very heart of female identity: motherhood. This taboo-busting project chronicles the rise of a growing community of women who don’t want children, and the larger fight for bodily and reproductive autonomy.
