Welcome!

If you believe that images are a strong component of understanding history, then you might enjoy the art in this blog as much as I do.

Images of women from across the world (both observed & imagined) sort of serve as the glue to hold the changing lives of women over time, so you can imagine, compare, & contrast.

Hope that works for you - something to catch your attention & to nudge you to dig into some primary sources to learn more about women & to teach us more.

Honored to have you visit.
