There's a possibility she's in the same boat as I am.

There's still a lot of sexism out there. When I had on my own website that I was a one woman "team"...I got very few projects and some of those clients would mock me if there was even the slightest hold up. "Oh see this is why you don't have a woman do this sort of thing" or "I'm sorry sweetheart, I shouldn't have expected one woman trying to do all of this to do as well as everyone else". Those are the low key examples too.

However, when I switched the verbiage to "we" and made it sound like there was more than just me...more leads came in, more projects, and clients are just generally nicer.

It sucks, but I need to have an income. And if just pretending there's more than me, is what works, then so be it.

EDIT: To answer a wide variety of people questioning my experiences, I promise that the ones I'm referring to, were extremely obvious about it. I tend to ignore it if it's vague. If its an obvious one, I'll be polite, and ask if they feel that my work quality isn't to their liking and if they want to stop the project. USUALLY, they'll apologize and be more polite from then on. Couple of cases have been in the extreme though...I can't figure out those guys function in their day-to-day lives.

My daughter wants to know if she can be you when she grows up.

I just wanted to say that out of ALL your roles, I think your Castle in the Sky role as Muska was one of my favorites. What was it like, working on that movie?

I wholeheartedly approve of your list, some great choices!

And may I say, I usually never hear people pick Ever After. I freaking LOVE that movie, thought it did pretty well, and yet for some reason it seems fairly obscure.

What are a couple of your favorite movies?
