Sisters Under The Skin

MCN: CCCJ1-XHKC3-2FX5S

I've been reading so much about women's rights being abused everywhere in the world recently  - from Honduras to America we seem to lose all the hard earned rights to our own body and what to do with it. Read this article here and weep.

I was so upset and angry about this article and tried to think of why it made me so upset, and a large part of the reason is that these are 'my sisters' what happens to them happens to me and it shouldn't happen. The long history of women's rights (or the lack of them) has shown we only get things done, if we stick together.

So this is what this image is about. Sisters under the skin, no matter what colour or where we are. :-)

This Is Who We Are

MCN: CR61H-CJ6KN-NQ2N3

Inspired by the stock image itself. I loved the strength in this and the absolute confidence.

For the generation of women who are who they are and who they want to be.

Thumbelina

 

MCN: C7497-JCWTK-773QA

Another one in my fairy tales themed images... Came to me when I was playing around with Tilt-Shift.

I remember how I felt when I was a kid and the world seemed so big. It's still big now but in different ways. I wanted my Thumbelina to reflect a more up-to-date image of a 'small' woman - I wanted her to look strong and in charge of the part of world she is inhabiting, not intimidated by it, but mastering it. Maybe it's wishful thinking on the other hand maybe it's inspiring to those of us not quite there yet. :-)

Story Within A Story

 

 

This is a story within a story - it's the story of Jack the Ripper mutilating and killing prostitutes and other serial (women) killers like him but also the story of feminism. There's still a lot of fear and hate about and people are still boxing women in - from the models in the magazines (all looking pretty and ever so sexy) to women being told they cannot have abortions in the States... there's still a lot of work to do and some of it is realising that there is still a lot of work to do.

I am not saying no achievements have been made, but sometimes I wonder how deep they go and how many of the preconceptions and misconceptions of women seem to just have received different, more acceptable labels.
