In the 1960s, a group of women came together to form a powerful bond that would change the course of their lives and the art world forever. “The Equivalents” tells the story of these remarkable women – including writer Anne Sexton, painter Barbara Swan, sculptor Marianna Pineda, and poet Maxine Kumin – who met at the prestigious Radcliffe Institute for Independent Study.

Bound by their passion for art and their desire for creative freedom, these women forged a deep and lasting friendship that would inspire and support each other through the challenges of balancing their artistic pursuits with the demands of family and society. As they navigated the tumultuous cultural landscape of the 1960s, they found strength in each other’s company, sharing their struggles, triumphs, and aspirations.

“The Equivalents” is a testament to the power of female friendship, creativity, and resilience in the face of adversity. It is a story of liberation and empowerment, of women breaking free from the constraints of their time to pursue their dreams and forge their own paths. Through their art and their friendship, these women left an indelible mark on the world, proving that when women come together, they can achieve great things.
