    Woman is not born, but rather becomes a woman.” - Simone De Beauvoir

    Simone De Beauvoir’s exquisite pronouncement on the social construction of gender in her Second Sex (1949)
    spoke to generations of women, and of a universal truth beyond countries and cultures. As an example of
    astonishing visual poignancy, “The Day I became a Woman” is the globally celebrated debut of
    Marziyeh Meshkini, a young Iranian filmmaker bringing her rich and diversified national cinema to
    bear on an enduring global concern, in a new crescendo of memorable subtlety and grace.
    “The Day” is repeated in three consecutive episodes—the memorial registers of childhood,
    adolescence, and old age—when three stages of “becoming” a woman is culturally manufactured
    and socially registered. Between Simone De Beauvoir and Marziyeh Meshkini, generations of
    women (and men), from all cultures around the world, will have much to learn and even more to achieve.
