O’Keeffe to Chicago | Women’s Liberty Not Won March 3, 2009

Within the context of international women’s rights, burqas, flogging and genital mutiliation, the art of Georgia O’Keeffe and Judy Chicago have taken on important new meaning in my life. The art shown in this journal essay would be destroyed at the hands of radical men who want to take away ALL of women’s freedoms.

Few Young Models Are Heroines

Numero 126 Calls Placid Models ‘Heroines’ | Give Us Elgort Women of Action! AOC Daily Beat

After Sept. 11, a person became a hero for helping an elder woman across the street. The very word ‘hero’ or ‘heroine’ has lost its meaning.  Now Numero 126 co-opts the word heroine for fashion models, but Anne says ‘not so fast!’

Definitions of heroine:

1. A woman noted for courage and daring action.

2. A woman admired or idealized for her courage or noble qualities.

3. A mythological or legendary woman having the qualities of a hero.

2. A woman noted for special achievement in a particular field.
