This piece is about the fears many women have about using their voice and saying what they believe in.
I'd been studying 'The Feminist Art' movement of the late 1960s and was inspired by the strength and determination of these women.
The Feminist artists stood against an established, male-dominated art world. Women were under-represented and invisible to the public and the Feminist artists fought to change, what had been the norm for centuries.
I want to thank them for their courage and offer my sincere gratitude.
