Unite Against the War on Women

Apr 28 2012
By Lauren Barbato, Ms Magazine Blog “I find this onslaught of anti-women legislation repulsive,” says 23-year-old Amanda Velez. “These proposed laws condescend to a level where women are treated as something much less than human.” A resident of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, Velez told me her feminist views are often met with hostility in her “typical Bible Belt” state.

The Exquisite Uterus
Practitioner:
Alison Gates, Helen Klebesadel

Sep 4 2012

I think this campaign is very successful in its approach. It exhibits paintings and displays of uterus and the female form in a non-sexual way.
