“No Shrinking Violets or Pushover Pussy Willows”

16 in. x 16 in. paper collage with Mod Podge, marker, and acrylic paint

Because you can’t spell “empowerment” without W-O-M-E-N! Here’s to sisters lifting one another up when it seems like the men in charge can’t possibly sink much lower. Especially dedicated to those of you (literally) raising, expecting, and supporting girls/maidens/mademoiselles, as now more than ever "The Fairer Sex" needs to band together should Democracy and women's rights become further endangered. Not only in Hollywood and on the catwalks, but also in our courts (R.I.P. RBG) and on executive boards or even sportsfields, these divas never leave us!
