This women’s history month, we’ve talked both here and on my personal blog about women, yet it would be impossible to sum up women’s role in history through a few posts.
We’ve shown photography of Wichi women taken by Wichi children. We’ve talked about women’s sexuality and how it defines women (or doesn’t). We’ve touched briefly on the the major issues affecting women’s lives, health and education. We shared photos of women from The SCAR Project and inspiring TED Talks from women.
It has been an eye opening month full of conversations with people I didn’t know in February. I end the month with this post. Faces of of women from all over the world as found on Flickr. From a Dos & Don’ts list for how women should live their lives to women in the National Guard to young girls carrying water, the diversity of experience, appearance and belief of women is astounding. This month is only the beginning of the discussion.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Cloudhead blog to read, comment and appreciate the photos, opinions and ideas of all involved. And really, that old timey photo of the woman on a bicycle? Follow the link and read.
