It's hardly fair to blame Pierce for the nine-year-between-flicks gap...
In addition to the "female problem," it was a combination of projects she was working on (and really liked) falling through--and her getting offered blockbusters, but not wanting to churn out a movie just to be churning out a movie. Sheesh, when a director promiscuously turns out bad flick after bad flick, critics groan and wonder why that person doesn't take more quality-time (or quit altogether. :)) But when a director _does_ take time, folks complain that person is either slacking or was a one-hit wonder who can't deliver again. This sort of complaining is like dissing Alice Sebold because she's not as "fast" as Michael Chabon...or James Patterson. :)
