Film Description:
"Paraskeva Clark, artist, socialist, feminist, is her own woman at her own
cost. This film is a cameo of an irascible and oftentimes touching artist
whose work has won her a place in exhibitions and private collections.
Born in Russia in 1898, she eventually married a Canadian and moved to
Toronto. Because her canvases reflect a strong social conscience, she had
to struggle hard to earn a place in the nation's ultra-conservative
galleries."
-- National Film Board of Canada
