World premiere recording of a work in seven movements by seven composers, each representing her own decade, and what it means to her to be a woman in 2020. A multi-generational piece of music in a journey from the optimistic entry into the adult world, to motherhood, to achievements in science, to the serene image of trees when their leaves have fallen, revealing the humanity underneath.
