Hi everyone!
We have had quite a semester! In this class, we were able to learn about incredible women that have been neglected over the years for their immense talent. I've written an essay that focuses on how women have had struggled in the past with gaining a political stance and gaining recognition. Under the presidency of Donald Trump, women have had lost the faith in the American system. In order to protest his presidency, women around the country marched for their rights. Even after years, women have no political progression in the world. By writing this essay, I've highlighted how women have marched for their equality, and intertwined it with how women in Art suffer the same non-recognition. The art world has been dominated by men willing to overstep and establish their presence, while women hid in their shadows. The presence of women in art has slowly been escalating as our nation regresses to the past. My essay is titled "Same Difference" to highlight the fact that women are different from men in various ways but does that mean that they stand behind them? Of course not! Women deserve the equality that establishes their presences as equals, but highlights their differences instead of masquerading them as weakness. I posted the essay to show a timeline of how women have had to fight their battles in the political and art world.
