Biographical History
Feminist film maker Ariel Maria Dougherty was born May 21, 1947, in Danbury, Connecticut, to Frazer and Page Huidekoper Dougherty. She attended public schools in Washington, D.C., where she was active in advocating for better funding for education, and spent her senior year of high school living in Indonesia. A 1969 graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, Ariel Dougherty was the co-founder, with Sheila Page, of Women Make Movies, Inc., an organization that sought to give women the training and equipment necessary to make movies. One of WMM's early productions was Healthcaring from Our End of the Speculum, produced by Dougherty in 1976. In 1980 Dougherty created, with Carol Clement, a film entitled Surviva. She worked for several artists' organizations, including Women's Studio Workshop and the National Association of Artists' Organizations, and was an advocate for funding the work of women artists. Ariel Dougherty continues to work on films about and made by women, mainly as a producer, and to advocate for gender equity in the media at large.
