What is Fe/male?

What is Fe/male?

"And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man" (Genesis 2:22). In the beginning, man wrote a bible in which women were created for and by men.  Throughout the epochs of human civilization, that hasn't changed. Women from birth are told what they are and, sometimes more significantly, what they are not. The world peers through lenses stained with difference and we are collectively and individually defined by what is male and what is female, what is right and what is wrong. Rarely are we defined by what is human. No culture or subsect of society is immune to the toxic categorization of women, of humans. This exhibit depicts women of today's world that exemplify, truly, what is fundamentally female.

In Praise of Empowering Women


Today we are surrounded by powerful women. We are surrounded by wonderful mothers. We are surrounded by women who are aware of the oppression of women historically and today, and who focus their energy on bettering themselves while working to improve the world with the strength they know they hold. As women continue to empower themselves and others, all women can come to know their own strength and use that knowledge to make a difference in lives around the world.
