20 Cents on the Dollar Donation
In honor of Women’s History Month I will be donating 20% of proceeds from my online store, the equivalent of the average wage gap in the United States, to Chicago Women’s Health Center! The CWHC is an organisation that facilitates the empowerment of women and trans people by providing access to health care and health education in a respectful environment where people pay what they can afford. So please, buy a comic, pin, or print during the month of March and help me support accessable healthcare for the women and nonbinary and/or trans folk of Chicago!
More information on the wage gap here.

ALT“What kind of fight should we carry on in art?” This was a question raised by one of the students who were attended a two-day exploration of human empathy led by artist Kara Walker along writer Rebecca Walker in Turin, Italy in 2011, Walker responded, “Well, the struggle for quite a long time has been to make work as a woman artist, or woman artist of color, without necessarily having to explain what being a woman artist, or a woman of color, actually is, all the time, without assuming that the audience viewing the work or listening or reading is something other than you.” (p. 167)

ALT“I guess the reason why my work has been engaged to present issues, regardless of a continuous singular context, is because I’ve been questioning old and fundamental issues of art and life. All human activities and problems come from the same root, which are old questions that have no answer, and endlessly repeat in history in one form or another.” – Kimsooja in an interview for Artecontexto.
InKimsooja’s video performance/installation entitled “A Needle Woman” (1999-2001), we see the artist’s back remain motionless, like “a symbolic needle,”against the flow of pedestrians in the midst of a busy street or while standing, sitting or lying down in the wilderness.

Mary Anning was a woman that lived in the early 1800’s as a fossil hunter and paleontologist. Coming from an impoverished family, she collected and sold fossils to provide for her family. She was involved with discovering the first ichthyosaur and personally discovered the first plesiosaur specimen. Anning’s scientific knowledge of paleontology was well respected and her discoveries are important in our understanding of early life. Indiana Jones’ wishes he was that cool!

To start off our #WomensHistoryMonth highlights, we’re honored to showcase Dr. Leslie Caromile (@lacaromile), an assistant professor at @UConn studying prostate cancer!
Dr. Caromile is of Native American and Italian descent and received her PhD in pathology and mechanisms of disease at the University of Washington.
Her lab studies a protein called prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), how it participates in prostate tumor growth, and how mutations in PSMA contribute to health disparities.
Dr. Caromile also believes in giving back to one’s community, and as such devotes herself to mentoring students from historically excluded groups in the biomedical sciences.
Dr. Caromile says, “Science is best when the rich diversity of our perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences flourish. […] It is essential that all members of the community feel welcome, … all individuals are respected, and all voices are heard.” Thank you, Dr. Caromile!

Making bold innovations in computer science and engineering once is remarkable. But to do it twice while pioneering the foundation of many computing methods and high-tech companies is revolutionary. And that’s exactly what the incredible @conwaylynn did.
Lynn Conway is most known as a renowned computer scientist and co-author of the textbook “Introduction to VSLI Systems” – what started as a guide and became the future standard microprocessor and memory chip design.
Very large-scale integration (VSLI) is a system used to create many circuits in a single piece of semiconductor as opposed to electronic components – allowing for smaller, cheaper, and more efficient microchip creation.
This revolutionary work occurred when she restarted her career in “stealth mode” after her gender transition in 1968. Before this, Lynn had made major contributions to out-of-order dynamic instruction scheduling (DIS) in computers at IBM but was fired for being transgender.
DIS is the basis that allows supercomputers to complete tasks out of the order it’s written in when it can be executed independently of other tasks. However, she was separated from this work for 30+ years simply for being who she is.
As such, in addition to being the STEM superstar she is, Lynn Conway is also a fierce transgender activist. Thank you for all that you do @conwaylynn!

Suzanne Duchamp was a French painter, collagist, sculptor, and draughtsman whose work was significant to the development of Paris Dada. Because Duchamp was a woman in the predominantly male Dada movement, she was rarely considered an artist in her own right—she constantly lived in the shadow of her famous older brothers or she was referred to as “the wife of” fellow artist Jean Crotti, who she depicts in this work. In true Dada fashion, “Arietta” (an arietta is a short aria, or song) is arranged like a puzzle that remains impervious to logical explanation. Even the title, which is emphasized in bold letters on the picture surface, uses nonsense language to foil our desire for literal meanings. “Arietta of Oblivion of the Dazed Chapel,” 1920, by Suzanne Duchamp © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York http://ow.ly/uu6S30sg5Qu

Mahasundari Devi was an accomplished artist who began working on paper in the mid-1960s and was instrumental in fostering women’s crafts in the Madhubani district of Bihar, India. In this painting, she uses a simple, graphic line to depict the mother goddess Parvati with a lotus in one hand honoring her husband Shiva. See this ink painting in our South Asian art galleries. “The Goddess Parvati Honors Her Husband, Shiva,” around 1965–85, by Mahasundari Devi http://ow.ly/cqXV30sfqkw

It’s Women’s History Month. Today Maxine Waters is reclaiming her time.
Born August 15, 1938 in St. Louis Missouri, she was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives for California’s 29th district in 1990. She soon defined herself as a firebrand when she interrupted a Republican speech in retaliation for what she considered overly harsh questioning of Hilary Clinton’s Chief of Staff. During a House Financial Committee meeting she repeatedly used the phrase, “reclaiming my time” when United States Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin attempted to waste time by not addressing her questions properly. Despite controversy and amid allegations of corruption she has been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, George H. W. Bush and even Barack Obama. Her intolerance for bullshit is perhaps her greatest gift, she is Maxine Waters.
