Isabella Beecher Hooker
2008 mixed media
My interest in the woman question began soon after my marriage when my husband, a patient young lawyer waiting for business, invited me to bring my knitting work to his office every day, where he would read to me from his law books, and in the evenings I might read literature to him, whose weak eyes forbade his ever using them in the evening. For four years we kept on this even tenor of our way, and to it I owe my intelligent interest in public affairs and a certain discipline of mind - since I never attended school or college after my sixteenth year.Who has been your greatest teacher? I recently gave birth to mine...

Theodora, Empress of Byzantium

For a king, death is better than dethronement and exile.Well, speaking from a personal experience, exile is a death of sorts...and a rebirth as well.

Marjorie Stewart Joyner
2008 mixed media
I try to...regardless of what others think or say. I listen to my soul, to my heart, to my body and to my mind...perhaps in that order...
It all came to me in the kitchen when I was making a pot roast one day, looking at these long, thin rods that held the pot roast together and heated it up from the inside. I figured you could use them like hair rollers, then heat them up to cook a permanent curl into the hair.Do you dare to follow through with ideas?
- Marjorie Stewart Joyner
(1896-1994)

Edith Grön
2008 mixed media
Si bien fue muy provechosa mi estancia en NY, sentía la nostalgia de mi Nicaragua. Me hacían falta desde las brisas del lago hasta el sonido de sus campanas.What is it about Nicaragua that causes such nostalgia in me? I have not been back to my motherland in months and am anxious to return as soon as possible...

Hedy Lamarr
2008 mixed media
Lipstick?
I love lipstick and I also love to leave my lips bare and kissable.
Until recently, I had never heard of either pit bulls or pigs using lipstick.
However, I know of a pig that was famous for sporting red glossy nail polish. The pig’s owner had some sort of fetish and would file and polish the animal's hooves with absolute devotion.
I appreciate subtlety. I have never enjoyed a kiss in front of the camera. There's nothing to it except not getting your lipstick smeared.
- Hedy Lamarr (1913–2000)

Agnes George de Mille
2008 mixed media
With each new piece I dream up, I take a glorious leap in the dark, trusting the process of creation which is my life force...surrendering to the dance of life!
The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.
- Agnes George de Mille (1905-1993)

Rose Knox
2008 mixed media
Every woman, if forced to, can do more than she ever thought she could. In running my business I just used common sense, a man would call it "horse sense."I have recently learned that I can certainly do more than what I ever thought I could do. I do use common sense, but I also call upon my GODDESS–SENSE...

...patient with one another...patient with ourselves
are you patient with others?
are you patient with yourself?
are you walking on the road of human tenderness and generosity?
Let us be patient with one another,
And even patient with ourselves.
We have a long, long way to go.
So let us hasten along the road,
The road of human tenderness and generosity.
Groping, we may find one another's hands in the dark.
- Emily Greene Balch (1867-1961)

I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.
- Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)
I actually adore thunderstorms with lightening...
The majestic strength of Mother Nature is to be respected, admired, yet not feared, for we have that strength of storms...

Amy Lowell
2008 mixed media
...or perhaps early morning, before dawn.
I heard her voice as clearly as if she were in the room with me.
“Estan vendiendo mis joyas... / They are selling my jewels...”
It was not the first time I received messages from the dead.
It was not the first time her adult children betrayed her.
They took dead men's soulsIt was the middle of the night...
And pinned them on their breasts for ornament;
Their cuff-links and tiaras
Were gems dug from a grave;
They were ghouls battening on exhumed thoughts;
And I took a green liqueur from a servant
So that he might come near me
And give me the comfort of a living thing.
- Amy Lowell (1874 – 1925)
