Quote:
"[Kathleen Shannon] had a major impact on many Canadian female directors, including Gail Singer, Anne Wheeler, Terre Nash and Bonnie Sherr Klein. 'If the front door was closed to women filmmakers, Kathleen would let us in the back door,' Ms. Nash said. 'If the back door was closed, she'd let us in through the windows.'"
